I talked over similar idea just after I joined, a year ago plus.  I mean making this very site fully compliant with AWeb/IBrowse etc.  I can dig it out if you want.

Anyway my advice to you would be, as I already pointed at that time:

- use some CMS that fits your needs (well most should do)
- also a CMS that matches hosting technologies including version compatibility
- but pick the CMS that supports mobile
- then define AWeb, IBrowse and others as some cell phones in terms of content they can accept
- then enter AWeb user agent(s)

Voila!

This is tricky but while it's done, it fits all needs I suppose.

Planned soon: an OS4 system
Shortly then: a MOS notebook (wifi is a must-have)

A complete set of templates usually comprises a theme. It ought to be possible to create one which uses old HTML attributes in the template markup to set colours and such and strip out as much of the CSS as possible. You don't need to rewrite the whole CMS, thankfully.


My point is, when you use a CMS that supports mobile, you merely create anything like template.  You only force content to some compact form (i.e. HTML only) by picking proper cellphone "generation" (there's just several of them and all should be defined).  And then you bind it with an ambiguous user agent that can of course, be other browser.
