Hi Bess: Sorry for the delay, but I had some heath problems. Concerning your nice questions:-I agree with you, developping a iOS or Android app in front of fedora would be a very hard effort and very expensive to maintain as they evolve.
- In the near future we will need a website and a mobile application-But I´m looking for a technology that work equally well in all mobile on all mobile platforms.
-And I think, HTML5,css and javascript is the only acceptable proposal.As my knowledge of Drupal themes is very short, I can´t evaluate, now, the effort to implement a Islandora mobile app. But it seems a nice way to start the work.
Best regards and thanks for your comments. Luis El 14/02/2012 20:14, Bess Sadler escribió:
Hi, Luis. I think that by now lots of people are exposing their fedora collections through various mobile technologies. Are you asking about developing a purpose-built iOS or Andriod app for interfacing with fedora? Or just whether there is any way to expose fedora collections via mobile devices? I've heard the idea of an iOS fedora app discussed during downtime at conferences. I even took a swing at it as a demo project for an iOS course I took, but since it was only a two day course I didn't get very far. In the past when I've discussed the idea with colleagues, I've been unable to justify to myself the amount of effort that would be involved in developing and bringing to market an iOS or Android app versus the idea of, say, developing a proper theming system for Blacklight/Hydra and then developing a mobile theme. That would solve more use cases, serve a larger portion of our users, and would be more adaptable over time as standards and browser technology evolve. Plus we wouldn't have a separate software stack to keep integrated, a concern when we start needing compiled applications for various mobile platforms. I know that people have experimented with both Blacklight and Hydra as mobile front ends for fedora, but to the best of my knowledge all of these are locally-built solutions, not something that would be easily re-distributable. Come to think of it, given Drupal's robust mobile theming system, I bet you could put a fedora-backed mobile app together with Islandora pretty quickly too. Can you tell us more about what you're thinking about, Luis? What's the project you had in mind?
