I'm at a loss now. PySide+QML is supposed to be the way 'forward' but that leaves Diablo out. pySide is the *only* way for MeeGo currently as there is no PyQt4 and yet the diablo version is missing a dependency.

The only thing I can think is I'll have to maintain a separate source for Diablo but that means it won't get any UI enhancements which is unfortunate . This.. sucks.
So, branch it. I mean, what else is going to happen with it in Diablo? It's fairly stable, all it will need is periodic protocol version bumps... Honestly, I'd just code something so if it gets "bad protocol" back as a message, increment and try again. They never seem to actually change anything. That might keep it going by itself for another year or so at least. :P

Branching is pretty easy with svn, too... So do that and move on.

As far as UI, I had a couple of thoughts. First, it needs a portrait version. Second, why don't we ask some of the community for icon help? I don't really mind the current icons, but we have great artists like wazd that might be able to help, or even I can make decent looking vector graphics (it really isn't that hard). I had a design in mind actually, I will see if I can do a mockup of the portrait and landscape versions later. I also had another thought, but I'd rather take that to PM (are you away from IRC?).
