Mobile Muse: an introduction, for newbies

Whether you're a social services provider, an arts collective, a commercial event producer, a mobile application developer, or even a group or company with some brilliant idea about bringing advanced mobile web services to the masses, Mobile Muse is for you.

You're probably wondering "how"? Perhaps also "why"?

Starting next week, I will post here the first article in a series that introduces Mobile Muse - its mission and mandate, our current and past projects, future directions for mobile, and a friendly guidebook of sorts that orients readers to our development process. Watch for interviews with our developer community, highlights from our current crop of showcase projects, and the occasional guest post from experts in this area.

Along the way I'll point the way to the resources available within not only this site, but also among our network of researchers, developers and community groups.
