The W3C has lumbered across the finish line with their Mobile Web Best Practices document. Looks like now I have a bit of summer reading to do.
As for you, go read it, too, and implement it. Then get back to the W3C and let them know that all that work and headache has paid off. 🙂
All kidding aside, now that they have come out with recommendations, they want folks to step up with real example of the impact of these recommendations. Yeah, I am sure (I hope) that the folks who came up with the best practices actually saw examples in reality, but now they are asking for more (and I think they want folks to actually impelement them and reply as to how wonderful it was).
Go get ’em.
Link: W3C Issues Mobile Web Best Practices as Candidate Recommendation.
27 June 2006 — Today, W3C reached an important milestone toward its mission of making it as easy to use the Web on a mobile device as on a desktop computer. W3C has published Mobile Web Best Practices a Candidate Recommendation, an indication of broad consensus on the technical content of the document.
W3C now invites implementation experience from the community. Industry leaders are declaring their support for the guidelines, which explain how to develop Web sites that work on mobile devices. "There are many devices, but one Web," said Daniel Appelquist, chair of the Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group. "Practical guidelines on how to create content once that can be delivered to the plethora of devices saves developers and organizations time and money, and has the added benefit of not breaking the Web.
