Hello all,

My name is Dominique Hazael-Massieux, and I work for the W3C in the
Mobile Web Initiative [1].

Among other things, I'm the co-Chair of the Mobile Web Test Suites
Working Group:
http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/Tests/

We have started last week a call for contributions to build a test suite
that reflects the needs from the Mobile Web authors community:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-mwts/2007Jul/0020.html

Basically, the idea is that we accept test cases that illustrates usage
of Mobile Web technologies in order to evaluate whether existing user
agents support them.

Later on, once we have received enough test cases, we'll release these
test cases into an organized test suite, and collect results from
anybody interested in testing their mobile devices on it.

(we have already set up a test harness that allows to do this with a few
existing W3C test suites:
http://www.w3.org/2007/03/mth/harness )

I think this project has a lot of common with what is usually discussed
on this list, and more generally speaking, dealt with in the WURFL
project; in particular, I read the recent discussions on the list to try
to define various levels of support for XHTML in existing browsers,
which I think our open mobile web test suite could help assess. In other
words, I think our system could be used to collect the raw data about
the support for a particular set of features, and these data could be
then reused in a more abstract/useful way in WURFL.

I guess the purpose of my messages is to invite you all to submit test
cases to our system, and/or discuss any questions you may have on it, or
any suggestions/clarifications you would like.

The submission interface is at:
http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/Tests/Open/submit and we have defined a set
of submissions guidelines at:
http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/Tests/Open/submission

(the current system is somewhat experimental, and may impose more
limitations than necessary, so please feel free to let me know about any
issues you would encounter with it should you choose to use it)

Thanks for your time,

Dom
