Hi there!

A small note: I would discuss everything on smartphones-userland and
leave pkg-fso-maint to the maintainers.  It is already difficult to
follow the two lists and sometime we need to repeat things.  In this
specific case, I think the community feedback would be helpful.

A small note: IIRC Zhone is intended to be the "testing" software for
FSO frameworkd features.  Which means that even if it is a bit rude, it
will be the first application implementing FSO frameworkd capabilities.

Fully agree.

I am (maybe again) a bit too harsh, but I will not involve myself in
anything Qt-related, sorry.  And frankly speaking, I would prefer we
focus our efforts on fixing the packages we have and upload to main,
instead of starting new things.

That being said...

...maybe the Debian Maemo guys [1] are a better target ;-)

Thx, bye,
