Didn't you have a daily posting limit? ;> PDA stuff is easy as long as you define your display/application layer logic and make sure that you have a browser detection/applicable display layer for PDA's.
Just code for ultra low bandwith, try to avoid graphics where possible, and set your size details to be relative wherever possible. Generally a plain text tranlation in a relative sized table will allow for PDA access. Its only really input that becomes grief from a pda... And input from anything with a stylus is a pain in the <smurfycensor> anyway. Admittedly... I'm responsible for a large number of Dilberesque interfaces, people have been known to be clawing there eyes and screaming 3 days afterwards... ButI think you can generall do something quite pretty with tables and cell colors etc that looks passable enough for a medium thats condemmed to uglyness by the $25/mb bandwith charges (Telstra are the evil source of all things <smurfycensor> retentive and bull<smurfycensor> poorly disguised extortion otherwise known as bandwith charges). It'd also be nice if there was one or two objects we could call remotely to pull up date/time/etc for the next CFUG's to slot into personal calendar apps etc. I have a personal organiser/reminder app thats still a serious work in progress that I can just feed data into a DB for. Also be nice for the random UG's around the place to be able to just list all there details in a central db and suck it back from a soap invokation or something? Maybe also an article contribution section. for those amongst us whoget the urge to feed the intellectually hungry and share tips/tricks/material for presenters at the UG's to steal. :) *sigh* I'm so bored. My CFMX dev box is down and my new servers aren't up yet.
