Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group News

mobileOK Basic was published as a Proposed Recommendation (the penultimate state of the W3C standardization process) a couple of weeks ago, and today the Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group is releasing an updated version of its mobileOK Scheme document.

What is that one about? While mobileOK Basic describes what you need to do to make your page mobileOK, mobileOK Scheme explains what you can or should do once you have a mobileOK page.

Typically, you will want to let your current or future visitors about the quality of your page: the document tells you how to do that using the mobileOK logo, or through a machine-readable label (using the POWDER specification).

That document is nearly final too, although it won't be published as a Recommendation since it is meant to be mostly informative. The group will finalize a few points in the related license (to use the logo and the trademarked phrase "mobileOK"), and will publish it as a Working Group Note.
