Hi George:

Sitka posted an update on their progress developing the mobile OPAC to
the Launchpad Blueprints at
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/evergreen/+spec/mobile-dial-up-pac in
August 2011 and linked to the code they've been developing there,
which you would be welcome to incorporate into your own instance.
Otherwise, the development of the Sitka mobile OPAC has mostly
occurred in parallel to and outside of the mainstream of Evergreen
development.

For what it's worth, the TPAC in Evergreen 2.2 is designed to be
accessible and fully functional from mobile devices from the ground
up, with minimal JavaScript (and come to think of it, it would be easy
to disable the AutoSuggest functionality via browser detection / URL
parameter / hostname).

Evergreen 2.2 beta 1 is scheduled to be cut on April 2nd [1], and it
will definitely benefit from testing, so get ready to help out :)
