Docs for Phone/Tablet

[Mike McCallister]

Hi John and Elizabeth,

Thanks for the warm welcome, and for your help.

IRC is not my favorite communication tool, but if that's the best way to 
reach the devs, I can certainly adapt! I will check in there this weekend.

Will also try to review the doc guide. I don't know if I'll be able to 
make any substantive contributions before fall arrives in North America, 
but will do my best.

Sincerely,
Mike McCallister
