Should be clearer now.

I think the big issue right now is how to legally bypass palm's mojo framework.

I don't know the first thing about programming and wouldn't even know where to start but if I did, I would certainly be doing this myself.
However, I don't so, any developer out there who has just the slightest bit of interest in this, please give it a shot! I'm sure it will be interesting and certainly plenty of people would be grateful.
Plus, as far as I know you would be the first person to successfully port WebOS to different hardware.

I made a little bit progress, took the Meego RAW Image and the Latest WebOS Doctor image ( includes a rootfs image and uImage ).
Wrote the MeeGo image to a SD card and exchanged the rootfs files,
( but not the uImage on the fat partition, that wouldn't even start up ).
It boots a little bit but at a certain point the screen starts to falsh and halts.
Downside is without debugging tools I can't do very much from here. When the Pre3 comes out I will buy that, but in the meantime I wanted to have a usable Software on my n900.

Well, considering the recent news, I think it's time to publish something I did long ago: running webOS 1 on the N900.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbYX0-5fddM
While usable, it was a bit on the slow side (webOS is 320x480x32 while the N900 is 800x480x16 so there was scaling and color conversion), and NDK apps didn't work. And the method I used will not work for more recent versions.
But still doable.
