What I meant was none of those UI is yet decided. Means not added to compliance list.

Harmattan is not MeeGo compliant, Nokia know this, MeeGo community know this, and you should accept that. Now, Nokia want a waiver from the MeeGo project to (falsely imo) have permission to state that Harmattan is MeeGo compliant, it isn't we all know this but Nokia are arguing that it's acceptible in this case, because they both have compatible Qt APIs which is where most developers will live.
You may have a pointe but would be intresting too know what is not compliant at the end. None of us really know. But it seems to mee you and many others takes your own conclussions on facts that was 2009 when we all knows things has changed since then.

Example: BusyBox instead of Bash. again I dont see any reason they used BBox its 2011 now not 2009. I guess even Android is using full bash/corelibs now.

I also rtemember Nokia and Intel was talking about systemd.


But to me it looks like the community sometime "want" Nokia to break compliance. Just give an example the decision to go EvolutionDataServer instead of tracker. Intresting was this change was announced some weeks after 11 february.... Wtf? I mean how the hell would Nokia have a chance to integrate this its soon tyo be released device? I am sure this would have been discussed alot more before they did this decions if it had'nt been because of Mr Elop...

Using DUI wouldn't break compliance. Why would Nokia use DUI? Because Harmattan, for the last f'ing four years has had DUI. That was the whole point, Harmattan step 5/5, DUI replacing Hildon.
Yes true but stuff has changed since then. QtQuick was introduces as main API and they may dish it DUI totally. Reason: They already said in sept that libmeegotouch(= DUI) was deprecated.

DUI git here:

http://qt.gitorious.org/maemo-6-ui-framework wish then was:

renamed to libmeegotouch(now deprecated but still some OSS devs playing with it):

http://meego.gitorious.org/meegotouch/libmeegotouch

libmeegotouch deprecated in favour of

http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-components/qt-components

But is there is no meego based commits for month by Nokia. Kate said it will soon be released public on meego mailinglists. I take that as qt-componets is the main UI also on Harmattan! not some wierd old "DUI"

Especially Nokia? Are you ******ed? Qt Components is being developed in the open, it was MeeGo UX that was behind closed doors, both are open now.
See above...
