Hello,

I have the need to classify not only mobile devices, but also desktop
browsers and other clients (e.g. email clients) including operating
system and versions. The current state of DeviceMap seems not suitable
for this, for example Firefox and Chrome are just classifed as
"desktopDevice".

I already tried to add patterns to BuilderDataSourcePatch.xml and
DeviceDataSourcePatch.xml. That somehow worked, but if I understand the
data format correctlry I'd have to create one "device" per
OS+version/browser+version, which would result in an insane number of
combinations.

Is there a better way to define data using the version 1 device data
format to achive my needs?


I also browsed the wiki and mailing list archive. The "Device Data 2.0"
specification looks very promising to me. There seem to be neither code
nor data (not even prototypes) available. Based on mailing list archive
I'm even not sure if there is consensus among the developers go for this
new data format.

Are there plans within the community to develop the version 2?

How can I help (with limited resources...)?


Kind Regards,
Stefan
