Proposal: HTML5 Mobile Template for Apache Roller

Proposal Abstract:

Roller is a full-featured, multi-user and group-blog server suitable for blog sites large and small. It has features such as multi-user and group blogging, comment moderation, spam prevention, RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0 support. In nutshell roller is a blogging engine.

Mobile browsers are starting to eclipse desktop web browsing and, unfortunately, most Roller themes do not work well on small-format mobile devices. This project will address this shortcoming by modifying the Roller blog rendering system to support mobile-ready blog theme templates, and providing one example theme that uses these features in combination with HTML5 to show full-sized pages to desktop browser users and small format pages to mobile users.

Requirements

• Identify and differentiate request from desktop user agent to mobile user agent.
• Ability to specify user preference for mobile theme or full theme (Desktop) as default theme.
• Render mobile theme if user preferred mobile theme and request comes from a mobile device.
• Add one HTML5 mobile theme as a sample.
