[Koha] Koha - Mobile web version.

[Ian Walls]

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
