Nucsoft OSS Labs mentioned at KohaCon 2012 that they're commissioned to write a Mobile OPAC for one of their customers. Hopefully one of their team can provide some more details on what this will entail. BibLibre also indicated they were working on a mobile CSS. Two different ByWater partners have also expressed interest in making this happen. I think what needs to happen next is the community needs to get together and come up with a list of features and design styles that should make up a Mobile OPAC, and put together a implementation plan on which to do first. If we have a unified specification out there, all these different parties can work together towards the same goal, rather than having half a dozen different implementations floating around out there. Some questions to ask: - CSS-based, or a new template? - What features first? Search and biblio details seem obvious. What about user logged-in features? - Specific features for mobiles, like integration with GPS, compass, accelerometer and camera? This may require OS-specific apps, but would make the model tool that much more appealing Cheers, -Ian On Thu, Nov 10, 2011 at 8:17 PM, Liz Rea <lrea@nekls.org> wrote:
