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
