So there is no mobile/pda view for mediawiki?

What would it cost to have something simple built and then shared with the community?

Has anyone developed a mobile extension/skin that would intercept mobile/PDA browsers and take them to a simplified version of a MediaWiki-based wiki?

My thought is that all the navigation stuff should be placed after the core page content with infrequently used options either hidden in a pull-down menu or simply on their own [More Options] page to reduce the KBs further.

Here is an example WordPress plug-in that does what I describe:
