We have set up a public forum where you can post your questions or search for problems already addressed. The forum is monitored by our developer team so don’t hesitate, post your doubts and let us know your feedbacks!

Should you need dedicated support, we provide a wide range of commercial options to meet your specific needs, please contact us describing your needs and we will be pleased to help you!

No. We have been building a quite comprehensive handset library, anyway we are not able to release it for free use. The main reason is that we receive handset descriptions and prototypes straight from manufacturers and operators well before their public release. These data are protected by non disclosure agreement and we can’t monitor when these information become public, so at the moment we have decided to avoid releasing them.

Anyway with the Mobile Web Toolkit growing up we plan to integrate data from the WURFL with data taken from our own handset library.

Of course, providing a working adaptation platform means supporting a wide range of mobile handset and this is exactly what we want to do.

We have decided to integrate the toolkit with data from the WURFL database (http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/). This free database gets every day bigger and already provides information on more than thousand handsets.

We are working on cleaning, testing and integrating these data to provide the best adaptation for supported handsets. As usual your feedback is the most valuable source to improve things up so post every problem on our forum!

It is a complete rewrite. We conceived it to be easy to manage and understand.

We are trying to concentrate our experience in a very small framework striping off all modules not needed by a typical installation.

Mobile web platforms for Mobile Operators are tightly integrated with their internal authentication, billing and delivery subsystems and of course are optimized for scaling to thousands dynamic transactions per seconds. For the Mobile Web Toolkit we are focusing on providing a stable and features-rich system without the complexity of a full-scale mobile back-end architecture.

Since four years Beeweeb has been developing carrier-grade mobile web solutions for the leading European Mobile Operators.

Our deployments serve millions of mobile users and tens of thousands multimedia contents are sold every day using our platforms. Anyway we feel that the mobile web is still in its infancy and for this market to grow up there’s a strong need to increase the number of good mobile web sites around or, better, to port mobile web solutions to a wider user base.

We have been discussing a lot here in Beeweeb about how we can help on this issue and eventually we have decided to dedicate part of our time and experience in trying developing a user-centric platform to help people easily set-up their own mobile web sites.

For a commercial, privately held, company, going Open Source is always a bit scary, anyway we hope that you are going to appreciate it and that you will help us in filling the Mobile world with new interesting services!

No. For Mobile Operators, ISVs and VARs Beeweeb license the Mobile Web Toolkit and many premium extensions under a commercial license. Check out our Mobile Web & Content Delivery Platform and fill free to write us for more info!

Yes. Free for commercial and non-commercial use. We have decided to release it under the new European Union Public Licence (EUPL v.1.0) (http://ec.europa.eu/idabc/en/document/6523).

For the lazy ones, the EUPL is fairly similar to the GPL, so, yes, we have made the Mobile Web Toolkit Free and Open Source but remember to give us some credit!.

Enjoy

Going mobile is not just a matter of format adaptation, there’s much more.

The mobile web will significally catch up only when users will take control of their mobile site deciding what and how to publish content like they already do on their favorite web platforms.

We are not interested in making a new text-only or Picasso-like version of your web site with the wrong images in the wrong place and tones of useless links all over a thousand lines long rendered page.

You know what content can be useful on the go, you know if linking to your image gallery makes sense or not for the mobile version of your site and probably you want to chose a different advertising provider to serve ads for your mobile users, the Mobile Web Toolkit give you the freedom to do it.

Give a look at the mobile version of this web site: http://m.beeweeb.com or view the screenshots of the editorial tool.

Surely.

We are already working hard on it, but we want to hear from you where we should head!

Let us know your tougths and post your comments/desiderata in the forum!

MediaWiki, Joomla, Movable Type, … or perhaps an independent platform to aggregate contents in XML/RSS format?

What do you want first? Give us your opinion!
