Tammy, you can customize this page via the Admin Area>Mobile>Dashboard section.
Both pages the Index and Dashboard in the Mobile version have the same number and type of widgets.
So you can use this pages just for dividing the contents in the Mobile version. This was done for your convenience.

Tammy, in the Origin theme both pages have the same widgets:
-Users
-RSS
-Custom text/HTML
 
So, let me explain how things stand related to the Mobile version.

As it's stated in our official blog post (http://blog.oxwall.org/2013/11/oxwall-1-6-goes-live-january-8-beta-today) - we released the platform which can be used for developing the plugins in this update. Besides on the first stage we were starting with basic features and several native plugins these are Newsfeed, Photos and Notifications to show the direction for what Oxwall mobile browsing experience is going to be.

It requires to develop further instruments to make a plugin work with the mobile version. i.e. create a kind of 'addon' for a plugin.
If you check, let's say Photo plugin you will see that it has its own mobile directory which contains the functionality of the mobile plugin: its own components, controllers and classes. Hence, to make the Forum or Video plugins work with the mobile version, you will need to develop its mobile functionality.

We do realize that such plugins like Groups, Forum, Videos, etc are very important to the communities, but this was the first stage only and we are not going to stop development, but it requires time to implement all the plugins to the mobile version. Since these plugins are already scheduled for next stages and third-party developers are working on their own plugins - we are expecting that all plugins will be added sooner or later.

Michele, I don't have any details or time estimate to share for now. We will announce our upcoming plans in our blog, please follow the link: http://blog.oxwall.org/ .
Concerning the third party plugin compatibility with the mobile version, it would be better to contact third party plugin developer and ask him about implementation the mobile support in their plugins too.

Just for anyone who wants to use the Origin Default their oxwall came with, and have it be mobile compatible...  I'm talking with an amazingly caring developer who is going to basically copy the look/ feel of Origin and have it be Responsive and working on mobiles... Great news for many of us!!! 

The thing is I can only afford 30 to get him started on the project. If anyone is interested in helping to pay his hourly needs... if 2 people were to also give him 30 he'd have enough. Pm me for details!
