Nucsoft OSS Labs mentioned at KohaCon 2012 that they&#39;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.<br><br>BibLibre also indicated they were working on a mobile CSS.  Two different ByWater partners have also expressed interest in making this happen.<br>
<br>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.<br>
<br>Some questions to ask:<br><ul><li>CSS-based, or a new template?</li><li>What features first?  Search and biblio details seem obvious.  What about user logged-in features?</li><li>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</li>
</ul>Cheers,<br><br><br>-Ian<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 10, 2011 at 8:17 PM, Liz Rea <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:lrea@nekls.org">lrea@nekls.org</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
