Re: Looks like the MeeGo Handset UX is almost out
 

Bearing in mind this release will be "pre-Alpha" release!

I am setting my expectations that this release will be very, very buggy -e.g expect a lot of application crashes and minimal functioning apps (if there are any included).

The pertinent questions are:
How "open" this release be?
Will the full source code (minus closed components) be available?
Will the images and source be in a buildable state? (someone tried to build an image and failed - got sarky comments from some developers and help from others)

The development won't be considered open until someone from outside the project (e.g. not part of the "inner sanctum") can successfully build a bootable image.

Wait and see what happens in next few days.

As I understand the plan, Harmattan-MeeGo will use Gecko for the web browser engine and Webkit for WRT.

See:

• go1dfish's post in "Nokia Web Runtime developer questions"
• Meego: Goodbye Mozilla, hello Webkit?

Re: Looks like the MeeGo Handset UX is almost out
 

- The development release bringing the Handset UX to the light will be open in its integraity. From that day MeeGo Handset UX development moves to the open.

- Source code will be available.

- All MeeGo components need to be buildable in order to make it to trunk: http://wiki.meego.com/Release_Engineering/Process

There have been problems with dependencies to components not public in the OBS but with the Handset UX out there are no reasons left to keep anything hidden in the OBS.

According to the Nokia peeps we spoke to, the N8 will be the last N-series to run on Nokia’s Symbian platform; all N-Series from here on will run MeeGo. This leaves Symbian (in its current version 3 and the future version 4) on Nokia’s X- and E-series devices, with the budget-conscious C-series making use of the existing Series 40 platform. The N9 will be the first MeeGo device, but with the N8 shipping at the end of Q3 or early Q4 it’s hard to say whether the N9 will see the inside of phone stores before the end of the year.

It'll be nice if we could switch or choose (of course not officially) the UI.
