Conversely, one could argue that the question is over whether a working (but simplistic) home page is better than a home page full of content (but broken). I guess the correct way to answer the question is to determine what mobile users are most interested in when they load the main page: featured content, or a way to access specific content they're looking for using the search box. I don't have any data on this (perhaps Philip does), but intuitively (and based on my personal use) I'd think it's the latter. -- Guillaume Paumier Technical Communications Manager — Wikimedia Foundation http://donate.wikimedia.org _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
