According to one forum post, it's not possible for third party apps. Remember that even on the N9, Billboard is mostly a hack, using the fact that the operator logo can be set at runtime to a different image. Billboard actually renders and sets an operator logo.

Thank you for that explanation.
There are apps for the Windows Mobile standby screen that place logos, pictures and text on the screen. However, none of those apps appear to do anything useful (I think) like signal strength, wifi on/off, bluetooth on/off, allow scripts, etc. Billboard for the N9 leaves all those apps for dead.
That is why I was asking about plans for a port (rewrite).
Thanks

As I wrote earlier, I would immensely appreciate a port of Billboard for Sailfish. This would be a huge boost in usability.
As of today, Sailfish is still not on par with Meego in terms of usability, a port of Billboard would help.

I am not sure I understand the term "Harmattan install on Lumia ".
I am assuming that it means to be able to install the current program on the Lumia.
However, I don't know how this could be since the Harmattan is a Linux based system and Lumia is a Windows system.

Argh, I just typoed "2.1.0" into the about text, so for all intents and purposes, let's assume "2.0.1" and "2.1.0" is the same (and the next one will then be > 2.1.0 to avoid confusion).
Now I hope wolke does some more patches so we can have another version that fixes the version numbering

dbus appears to be broken in 2.0.1. i have no idea why. my deb still works.
