Should we start a pocket edition server

I have been thinking about Pocket Editions of Minecraft lately. As of right now, Pocket Edition(MCPE)--the version of Minecraft that is played on tablets--is different from the Minecraft played on computers. There are software projects such as Dragonet project that is working towards letting MCPE players connect to an play on normal Minecraft servers like ours, but the current version of Dragonet is not working with version 1.9.x of Minecraft.

It occurs to me, though, that people might enjoy having a MCPE iorek server that people with tablets can play on. Unfortunately, there'd be no way to link the MCPE and the existing server. Instead there would be two different worlds.

So what do people think? Should we set up a MCPE server for people to be able to join?
