- Original web -- started without thinking about money
- When companies started to monetize, they weren't able to muck with the basic standards
- On the mobile web, companies are trying to monetize before the technology is solid
e.g. Vodafone & Novarra "breaking the underlying technology"
- W3C denying the issue is there (One-Web)
- WURFL updating process is a bit heavy to manage
- 6Mb file, hand-edited by Luca
- Building new public interface to WURFL
- Enables users with accounts to add patches and download updated version on the fly
- Luca can then merge in changes more easily
Other WURFL sub-communities: J2ME, Flash Lite & Video
- WALL:
- created in 2004 and looks it
- new version WALL NG (WNG) allows css to degrade gracefully
object model with Java API & tag lib, integrates with JSTL
levels: XHTML advanced (level 3 or 4), XHTML simple (level 1 or 2) & WML (level -1 or 0)
- only 5% of devices accessing mobile web are WML only
- level 3 assumes no AJAX, level 4 supports AJAX
- company working on AJAX for mobile that Luca intends to work with
