You're welcome :) I'm not a Roller developer, so take my comments with that caveat in mind. > I really feel html5 mobile interface will do much better in the rollers > usability.I would like to have some more feedbacks on the idea. > There are two main categories that i can i imagine. > > 1) Having a mobile optimized user interface for quick blog view for readers. My take is that this should be the higher priority. People blog to share their thoughts with others. In the final analysis, it's all about hits. Well, maybe not only about hits but you get my meaning. > 2) Mobile friendly user interface for quick posts, basic administration. I think quick post capabilities might be of value, but administration might be a bit complex to implement, as there's simply a lot more involved and getting the UI right may be a challenge. > I looked at how to add templates for roller.Would this interface will be > added as a template or do we have to define some extensible architecture for > this.?

I don't know enough about html5 media handling to comment. Ditto the Roller template system. To recap, I see the value add ordered thusly: 1) End user mobile UI 2) Quick post blogger UI. I think this would necessarily entail a subset of Roller's full feature set in order to keep the UI manageable from, for example, a smartphone. I'm not sure how many bloggers would use this though as blog posts are typically more substantive than micro blogs, e.g. tweets. I see use case for the latter from e.g. smartphone, but not sure if there's really use case for more substantive posts being made from such device. At least for me, I'd want to be using a laptop or workstation unless it was really, really so important that I was willing to suffer through e.g. a 1000 words on my Android. But then I'm not a big texter either, so I think it would be prudent to get input from others on this issue. 3) Mobil admin interface. Ditto the subset comments above. -- Ken Gunderson <[email protected]>
