Thanks Steven, Eli, Brian, Adam, Matthew, and Nate.
This is what I think the new consensus is (and I like it):
- On the main page, call the link to /pda "Mobile" and on the /pda" page call it "full"
I completely hear and agree with the "mobile != accessibility" discussion. I was so proud of eliminating iframes in the pda portal and probably personally overvalue the ultimate destruction of all iframes as a high priority accessibility issue.
I agree that PDA is "so 90's" and that "Mobile" is closer but not perfect.
The notion of m.ctools.umich.edu as preferable is a great idea and orthogonal. All I am changing is the *default* text in these properties out of the box. Out of the box (i.e. like demo and nightly) there is no m. so I will leave it /pda as that works.
In reality almost no one leaves this text at the bottom of each page unchanged - so likely your properties already override this default information - and if someone sets up an m. route in their servers, it is a simple matter to switch the link in the property to m...
So I am feeling like we are approaching closure. This proposal is also the simplest one so far.
As always more comments are welcome.
