You're entirely right of course =)
However - I'm also rather convinced that rather than re-using the
Mozilla/Fennec/Java approach - we should do this work on top of Online -
as we're doing for iOS[1]. This will then allow us to do several things
- particularly writing in Javascript - debugging on a normal Linux
machine and in a normal browser, as well as sharing all of the great new
Mobile UI work with the responsive design of Online.
If that's interesting to you - I imagine Gülşah would be available to
mentor you - although the code-base is moving reasonably rapidly, so I
think we'd want to have a series of smaller features here. One idea is
to target the mobile-phone UI here are a couple of ideas:
* make entry drop-downs into full-screen dialogs on Mobile
* re-purpose side-bars as tools panels for mobile.
* providing a JS / widget toolkit front-end using the native UI
welding framework from Caolan.
Anyhow - just some ideas, would be good to sync. with Gülşah.
ATB,
Michael.
