Apologies if a duplicate post, I submitted the same message onto the list
before I was approved and it seems to be in moderator limbo
Stemming from a discussion on a diary entry I created
http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Mark%20Newnham/diary/19723 , I'm trying to
start a project about getting an improved home screen for openstreetmap.org
when someone lands there while using a mobile device,especially a small device
like a smartphone. I feel that it is extremely unfriendly (i know, i've used
it) and that many potential contributors could be frightened away simply by the
fact that there is no explanation to what is going on. A redirect to an
extremely simple mobile framework screen would be better than what is going on
now.
I've recently placed a request in to the wiki team to get the mobile frontend
installed on the wiki as part of the same request.
I'm assuming that the mobile interface would have to be built in ruby, and I've
no experience at all in that, and no real time to learn it. I've loads of
experience in php/javascript development and have used jquery wrappers to
build mobile web apps, but I'm happy to be involved in building prototypes and
to donate bandwidth and disk space to such a project.
I originally placed this message on the development forum, and it was suggested
it should be placed here for a better response, so here it is...
