It means that the DE release is in VERY EARLY stages and is more like a "proof of concept" with very limited functionality and applications.
the system will boot into a handset ux, depending on whether your sim is pin locked, yopu may or may not be able to use very basic telephony functios and most of the other applications are either buggy or merely are acting as placeholders in the current menus.

Well, I was able to make a phone call with it. But otherwise, there's currently not much to see. The applications crash a lot and the text labels contain mostly placeholders.
It looks like it will have a great future, though.

Ok: I have a question which has been asked, but no real answer was produced..

Meego: This is to be installed on SD, I know.
Can I partition my eMMC and install it there like Nitdroid?
I only have a slow class 2 SD (8GB and a 16GB but - class 2! )

I have done the google fu, but found nothing good enough.

I asked the Meego IM team and they have said that they are considering to neglect xkb in the future.

Considering both cases, I will need to take it upstream and create a maybe create a package for the next Meego release which will somehow need to be dependent on xkb usage ( just in case it won't be included). Thus adding the ukeyboard symbols file and a relevant entry to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/. But if I'll create such a package, can it be included in the N900 DE release so that users will have it out of the box?

I'm a noob at git... created a mess

Anyway the merged rx-51 is at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36739

I have tested it in Meego and it worked OK. Hebrew HW layout become available after `setxkbmap -layout he` and switch between English and Hebrew was done by the uncomfortable Ctrl+Shift

Update:
Also opened a Meego bug for backport rx-51 https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16973

For the people, who aren't following the mailling lists here's how the new dialer looks so far in QML, I believe it's created by Tom Swindell (AKA alterego).

It looks really good so far.

Can the maemo deb packages be converted to rpm using alien? I remember doing it the other way around on my pc a long time ago.

Added.
Upstream now includes the patched rx-51.
Ctrl+Shift is not very usable for changing languages, so we need to figure out why Ctrl+Space doesn't work
(at least for me - I will see if it reproduced for other multi layout languages)

Other then that, I will query around to see how Meego will allow users to choose the hardware keyboard
layout as in the 15-Apr release I could only find the virtual keyboard layout.
