Our mobile site was working fine a few weeks ago. I suspect one of the recent Main Page changes disrupted the display of the mobile site.

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.

The instructions for setting up a mobile main page are here:

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)
