Yes, we are writing more or less from scratch. We have a base-project that we did with plain-old Qt (read: without QML), and we are utilizing that as a base for some parts. But now that we know how to make it we will redesign the base anyway.

Using AGTL as a base is really not an option since IMHO only using the real native tools (this time Qt & QML) is the valid if you want a real application instead of just some demo (I've actually never used AGTL though, so I won't say anything about that).

Working with CacheMe as a baseline is not a valid option either since it is not open source and you are violating the rights of its owner. I've asked Till to update the licence of CacheMe QML port to be open source but he has not replied to me yet. He says only the plugins are under GPL and the main program "does not have a licence".

Also we do have our own design goals that do not match CacheMe's design. So I suggest we continue chatting about how to join forces. Anyone who knows how to code & cache is welcome at this point to join us.

Oh, and one more thing. At this point it looks like we might support also Symbian^3 devices.
