This is motivated by a python-ideas thread [1] regarding Python on
mobile devices. During the thread a mobile-sig was proposed as it is
too niche for regular python-dev discussion. It was also suggested
that the SIG could operate much like distutils-sig [2] in how it
serves as a development area for things that are then proposed to
python-dev.

I volunteer to be the initial administrator/moderator/owner of the list.

= Topic =
Python for mobile devices

= Charter =
The Mobile-SIG exists to improve the usability of Python on mobile
devices, as mobile platforms have their own unique requirements and
constraints.

There are two goals:
* To collaborate on porting CPython to mobile platforms and ensure
that other Python implementations (i.e. Jython, IronPython) present
much the same environment as CPython when running on mobile devices.
* To collaborate on the design of modules for mobile-centric features
such as cameras, GPS, accelerometers, and other sensors to ensure
cross-platform and cross-implementation compatibility.

The intent is to work on mobile-centric features in this group before
proposal to python-dev, similar to how the distutils-sig operates.

Questions of how to use Python on mobile platforms currently are
considered off-topic as there are many other existing places for those
questions.
