I'm looking to hire a Drupal designer to help out with a mobile web version of a university website, which will primarily have information such as where alumni can get access to reunion events, as well as a basic news feed.

Here's the inspiration:

I've just released some "proof of concept" code at http://drupal.org/project/whereis, it's an application that runs on your Symbian phone (Nokia S60), queries your GPS for your lat/long, and sends your coordinates to Drupal using XMLRPC.

At the moment, Drupal will receive a node id, latitude and longitude, and it will simply update the location-enabled node with the new coordinates.

This is all at a very basic level at the moment, but in the future it opens up many possibilities - think Google Latitude style functionality for Drupal.

Hi Mobile folks

As a result of Transmission network sprint few weeks ago on a farm among beautiful Britain hills we have published a tutorial on Posting video from mobile phones into drupal via email into flash video via Mailhandler and Media mover.

Its still considered Incomplete, as my English is not perfect. Please review, correct and expand, so it will be complete.

Hi guys,

I released an experimental Mobile Tools module (http://drupal.org/project/mobile_tools) on Drupal.

It has some essential features to help preparing your site to go mobile:
- e.g. device detection
- redirection to mobile site
- notification of existence of mobile/desktop site
- creating mobile user roles
- Theme switching

Feel free to try it out and suggest new features.

The module is not about making your content mobile, but be sure that an adminstrator can select which content is suitable for the mobile site, and to make sure that people are directed to that site.

I need to find a way to open Drupal 6 up to sms registration. The way I imagine it working is that people can create a Drupal account by sending their name to the application via sms. They then receive an auto reply containing their password and can then visit the site (either directly via a phone or a web browser) and log in using their mobile phone number (instead of an email address) and that password.

It would need to remain possible for people to register in the traditional way with an email address.

What do people think?

A major milestone for the SMS Framework project is reliable and flexible support for incoming SMS messages. Tylor’s work on the SMS Receive module has kickstarted the effort and I believe we make a plan for the future of two-way support in the framework.
