I'm kind of lost with all the Fremantle revival and porting threads these days.
What exactly is the aim of this project?
All of these have been mentioned before and attempted with some results, so I'm not sure which one is it this time. And what's the current status?
Just out of curiosity.
What exactly is the aim of this project?
- Do you guys want to run Fremantle on other devices?
- Are you porting hildon-desktop to run on other OSes?
- Or are you guys upgrading the N900 to a newer kernel?

That means that you should be able to run this devuan/debian on your N900 and then install the stuff ported over from fremantle. That likely will also mean we can start using a mainline kernel.
But the N900 is not the only target device. Also arm tablet(s), the arm droid4 phone, and perhaps even intel tablets of some kind.
Makes sense?

Do you guys also plan to switch to Wayland instead of X11?

That will require reworking libHildon and hildon-desktop. At the moment xatom iirc is used to signal the window manager to correctly render menus. That's just for starters.
Window stacks need looking at, especially if going after stock GTK support

Depends on compatibility. If you want to be able to port existing apps with little amount of changes, you need a patched GTK3. If you want to stick to vanilla/stock GTK3, libhildon shrinks making it easier to maintain but existing apps need more porting or for compatibility you could add some wrappers or defines.
HildonStackedWindow is part of libHildon. AFAIK there is no equivalent class in GTK3. Closest I've found is GtkStack but as noted elsewhere it's not complete solution to the issue. Aside from some errors encountered popping items incorrectly setting top (pop twice, top is now 0 regardless of items unless now fixed) which I solved by keeping a separate list, the is the issue of the window manager close/back icon.
