The Drupal 8 Mobile Initiative is a concerted effort to make Drupal 8 a first-class mobile platform. This is the official place to discuss those challenges and make plans! Want to help?

- Checkout Shyamala’s Blog on the mobile initiative to find out what we’ve accomplished as of March 2013.
- Read the Mobile initiative page on drupal.org to fine most important places to help. We need documenters, reviewers, thinkers and coders.
Initiative Goals
To make Drupal a leading mobile CMS platform, the top issues we’ll need to address are:
- Build a Drupal.org mobile guide for Drupal 7 contrib solutions
- Ability to use Drupal’s administrative forms in mobile devices
- Convert all of Drupal 8’s existing themes to be responsive
- Front-end performance improvements (including responsive images)
A full description of the goals and detailed breakdown of associated tasks can be found on the Strategy for the Mobile Initiative document.
In addition to the issues in our initiative, we’ll work very closely with other Drupal 8 initiatives to ensure a complete mobile solution:
Issues to work on
You can find interesting stuff to work on by looking at the different topics in the Drupal 8 mobile initiative issue queue:

Update on D8 Mobile Initiative - further to meeting #38
ARCHITECT CSS
Further to Dries blog on Reducing risk in the Drupal 8 release schedule at http://buytaert.net/reducing-risk-in-the-drupal-8-release-schedule there is a need to consolidate and make sure that the CSS architecture fixes do not become a blocker. To ensure the same John has moved the fixes & issues around CSS Architecture to the JohnAlbin’s Mobile initiative sandbox. This will also ensure that all the commits are consolidated and pushed as meaningful chunks. Also the renaming of CSS files done during the Singapore sprint get recognition! So Join John @ the sandbox to make the much awaited CSS clean possible and become a part of Drupal 8 release!
