How to get Miniature to work in Maemo 5: http://wiki.maemo.org/QtComponents/Miniature - you can see the icon of the app installed in an N900 at http://vimeo.com/28927228

End users: don't worry, it will be eventually a single click to install just like any other app. That wiki page shows the changes needed at a code level, which are little details considering how big and complex Miniature has grown.

Miniature 0.4 is not that far and it does play real FICS games (with real chat with your opponent). We are still chasing a couple of features and some bugs, but the current version in master is fully functional already.
