Has development for Bluemaemo died? if so that is a real shame because it is one of my favorite apps.
the reason I ask is because it seems to be stuck in extras devel with some old problems with keyboard focus.

for example in maemo5 hardware keyboard does not work but there is a workaround by qobi which has been around for some time. Is there a reason why this workaround hasn't been implemented in bluemaemo?

if you have easydebian installed, qole even made a nice script which you can use to fix bluemaemo too. just open bluemaemo connect to your pc then open a terminal on the n900 and do

there! done! kbdfocus is fixed and you can use the hardware keyboard. even minimize and return to bluemaemo without focus being broken. so why isn't this used when bluemaemo is launched?
