I was looking for mobile Themes for Drupal and they are just very rare.
So i thought it would be great if Genesis had a mobile Subtheme!

Is this possible / reasonable?

(Maybe I've got some time in a few Weeks to go deeper into this myself)

Greets,

Its possible but for D6 unlikely, mainly due to lack of time to develop, release and support another project, I already have too many!

I am interested to work for mobile sub-theme if any one can help me out, for Drupal7.

We can probably help with this. Want to set up something on github until we can get something more formal to contribute?

We've made some contributions to related mobile D7 modules. I'm assuming there would be a lot that could be borrowed from http://drupal.org/project/adaptivetheme_mobile even though it is D6.

Yeah, I am still thinking about it. Its possible I might go the responsive route and bring in media queries and CSS for small screens. Theres a case for both approaches, so still thinking about, as you guessed I like to think about things for a long time :)

if you have any plans or any things then I am ready to be the part of the team.

Here is a starting point for a subtheme. I made one for both 7.x-1.1 and 7.x-2.x (7.x-2.x works better). I started by making them fluid width and editing the page.tpl.php file for a one column page.

That's great @erynn. I look forward to testing the HTML5 genesis sub-theme (7.x-2) although probably not until after DrupalCon.

I applied the 7.x-2.x theme. It looks like a Genesis theme but I haven't done much with it.

I tested this locally using http://labs.blackbaud.com/NetCommunity/article?artid=686

We need a mobile image for the mobile theme.

Other than that I'd like to see what we can do to move this forward. Should it be a sub-project of Genesis or it's own project?

It probably should be kept as a sub-project to Genesis so we can apply any major changes that happen to Genesis to the mobile version.
Also, has anyone else looked at the theme, specifically the 7.2 html5 version?
