I'd like to propose a mini-roadmap for laconica mobile user
experience:
1. Create screen and handheld media stylesheets that is geared toward
small viewing area. This means that some of the content (e.g., text,
images), will be invisible or repositioned. Good: adapted UI; less
good:
page weight remains the same. I think we can get this rolling
incrementally; cover major mobile browsers (laconica 0.7.x and 0.8.x).
2. Create a mobile space e.g., http://m.identi.ca that contains a
reorganized version of the content and have its own screen and
handheld
media stylesheets. Good: Lightweight and on the go UI and less good:
we
don't (yet) know what the heck users want =) I think it needs more
careful planning, so, we can perhaps have it for laconica 0.9.x or
1.0.
3. WML ~ I'm not sure if we really need to take this on too. Perhaps
we
can revisit this during or after #2.
What do you think?

Sarven, et al.,
This sounds like a good plan to me. I strongly agree that focusing on
target 1 first is the way to do this. The markup in Laconica is
exceptionally rich and as a result a huge amount can be accomplished
with CSS alone.
As an aside, in my "day job," I'm writing a CSS book in collaboration
with Joe Lewis and one of our chapters focuses on CSS-based mobile web
development. I'd be keen to use examples from Laconica in the book
where I find it makes sense to do so. Are there are any snaffus I
might find myself in, legal or otherwise, if I do this?
Thanks,
