Martin, Mike, I am exploring the possibility of increasing access to the server by providing mobile-friendly content targeted at people in the community, and the increasing number of phones with Wi-Fi support. For instance, the school server as a multi-purpose resource could serve as a sort of on-demand community radio station broadcasting audio information in the form of mp3s (or any playable formats commonly used in mobile phones).
It would be nice to have a tidy way to share such content, with user uploads allowed too, and thus I thought of using a dedicated CMS with a mobile extension or plugin. I understood by "mambot" that one could use a plugin that causes mobile browsers to be recognised and then display content tailored to suit. For instance, Wordpress comes with a mobile "edition" plugin. On the XS it might run in parallel to Moodle with a different CMS, and I am experimenting with that on an Ubuntu 10 machine, or there might be a way to do it with Moodle. It might not be needed, I was happily surfing the XS on an iPhone without any such reformatting. However, I want to see what the range of options are, so I am interested in any feedback.

I personally don't even know what mambot is (and I'm under a pile of hi-pri work). If you outline goals more openly maybe someone can help you... Or (in the opposite direction)if you outline specific technical challenges in installing mambot,... m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
