Hey All
Currently our mobile site show no content when we go to it. Who is leading the mobile effort?
I would propose that the mobile site should show the article at the persons IP address. Thoughts.
The mobile site should show the main page in a small-screen compatible format.
Trying to guess the user's location from an IP wouldn't be possible without installing additional executable code on the servers.

On desktop Wikimedia sites, it is possible to determine the user's country - and to some extent city, latitude and longitude, but these are often inaccurate. They are stored in the javascript variables "Geo.country", "Geo.city", "Geo.lat" and "Geo.lon" respectively. Unfortunately this hasn't been implemented on the mobile sites yet (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19920)
