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?

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:

Blueskying Drupal 8 Mobile Solutions
Building mobile solutions encompasses a large problem space: native apps, HTML5 web apps, responsive design, device capability detection, mobile/desktop switching, front-end performance, etc.
I'm seeing lots of really interesting contrib modules and themes tackling mobile problems in Drupal 7.
Since Dries has already indicated that mobile will be an important aspect of Drupal 8, my question is:
