Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group
The W3C Members chartered the Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group in 2005 as part of the Mobile Web Initiative (sponsors) to develop a set of technical best practices and associated materials in support of development of web sites that provide an appropriate user experience on mobile devices.
The group operates in public, through several Task Forces, including work on a Java implementation of a mobileOK checker library. The group interacts with the community at large, working in public in its publicly archived mailing list public-bpwg@w3.org, and welcome comments on its documents on the archived mailing list public-bpwg-comments@w3.org.
Daniel Appelquist and Jo Rabin chair the group. The W3C Staff Contacts are François Daoust and Dominique Hazaël-Massieux. See how to join the Working Group.
The group operates under the W3C Patent Policy (5 February 2004 Version). Information about patent disclosures by group participants and other requirements of the W3C Patent Policy is available.
Draft documents and logistics are available on the group page.
To learn more about the Mobile Web Best Practices, readers may find it useful to take a look at the Mobile Web Best Practices flipcards that summarize the best practices and/or to check their web site for mobile-friendliness using the W3C mobileOK checker based on the library developed by the Working Group.
