Practice shows that it's a huge waste of effort, since these closed UIs die with the demise of the company, or if the company decides to ditch it (Harmattan is a very clear example). Only open UIs can survive these kind of things. But it's of course up to them to learn on others' errors, or on their own. Even HP understood that there is a value in fully opening webOS, otherwise it would be simply dead.

In this case Nokia didn't open up Harmattan when they decided to ditch it, only because MS fully controls what they do now. Otherwise there was every reason for them to open it up.

Well are you going to have a mascot like Meego had those little people things?

The Mer project logo has a ocean/lake bubbles (unless those were deep fry bubbles?) theme/look so maybe the UI of your community website could be like how bubbles come up to the surface similar to the way when you look at the N9 and swipe the screen underneath rises towards you but you can have some other gesture that triggers the rising up to the surface like maybe hover double tap or something (I remember someone came out with a screen that detects finger hover).
Wait a second does Nokia own the swipe gesture?
How can a company own something so basic like that? It's like me going, "wait, stop, you can't turn that magazine page until you get a license from me."
OK I'm babbling. Anyways... Oh wait my glass of water is sitting in the sunlight I just poured it and I can see little bubbles from the ice cubes. The first time I saw the Mer project logo I thought of the Europa driller mission concept. Doesn't Jolla mean dingy? So you already have a water thing going on.

Would something like his work be of interest to the Jolla team?

Regardless of whether it's of official interest to the Jolla folks or not, as long as they continue to support Qt and QtWebKit then Tizmee should be almost immediately portable to their platform.

I have a personal interest in all mobile platforms based around standard GNU/Linux technologies, so once there are public releases of Jolla's full platform I'll look into porting all my various projects to it.
