You'd best check with DougT, failing that see what contacts the Mozilla Foundation have with Nokia and see if Nokia are aware of your efforts to get Minimo up and running on the 770. Perhaps start with Alex Bishop from Mozillazine, or go straight to the top and contact Brendan Eich. Alternatively, Ari Jaaksi runs the Nokia Open Source development operation and one would hope he has a clue what Nokia are up to.

It does seem odd that Nokia aren't already involved with a 770 Minimo port, although more recently Nokia seem to have spent their time developing their own Symbian/S60 browser based on KHTML.

It's been 2+ years since their apparent involvement with Mozilla Foundation began, and with only one guy (DougT) appearing to be working on the Minimo project maybe Nokia have cut their losses and decided to stick with Opera and KHTML for now.

Talk about scatter gun approach to product selection - if you can't decide which one to support, support 'em all!
milhouse, I can not talk in name of nokia, and neither could nor want to ... So I am not claiming nokia is not involved on mozilla stuff targeting n770 ... I am just talking about my port job ! (Just to clarify things )

and yes, there are lot of rumors about nokia and minimo ... not sure about any of them
