[WG: Accessibility] [Building Sakai] Some UX issues on Android smartphones

[Richwine, Brian L]

I'm attempting to create a course site on one of the nightly servers: http://nightly2.sakaiproject.org:8083/portal

After creating a course site as I normally do, and then try to access it, I keep getting a "Site Unavailable" tab instead. Has something changed in how course sites need to be created?

Thanks,
  Brian

We've got some work going here at IU to surface features through our enterprise mobile portal.  To do this, we have been "entifying" parts of the application.  So, I think Announcements and Messages and Forums have some of these capabilities so far.  We are working on building them out a bit but would definitely love some community involvement!

We should evaluate if it's feasible to redirect known mobile OSs to the pda portal if it's active? I personally think that we need to pay more attention to mobile OSs.

Hi Mathieu,

Do you enable the PDA portal? This is much better than the default for
small devices
