If this sits around long enough, it might make for a really nice Google Summer of Code project, though. I've listed it here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2011/Project_ideas (You could even be a mentor!) > Right now, each path comes back with a single resulting HTML page.

Are these differences documented? Also, is it possible currently to emulate these settings without faking the user-agent? Perhaps with a URL parameter of some kind for easier debugging? Having a way to A-B test would certainly make a rewrite easier. :-) > Oh right, and a ton of different mobile applications (and other third party > applications) use the software's API.

I didn't realize that the current mobile site had an API. I added keeping the API working to the rewrite specifications here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mobile_site_rewrite#Rewrite_specifications How is the API accessed and is it documented anywhere? > Goodluck on the "Big Re-Write!"
