I&#39;ve seen some great ideas coming from engineers and designers specifically around this problem, so you&#39;ll probably see the mobile main page/navigation start to evolve to reflect some of that work. </div>

<div><br></div><div>Generally, I think it&#39;s important to keep in mind that the mobile site is still very, very new and has lots of room to develop and grow. We&#39;re trying to move fast, but there&#39;s an entire encyclopedia reading and editing experience to rethink from scratch, because the workflows that are reasonable on desktop won&#39;t always carry over to a small touchscreen.</div>
