Android is an interesting question as we (KDE) don't have a full solution there yet. it would be good to see the Qt port project (hosted on kde git) evolve further. perhaps we'll get the resources for that eventually. as for "on top of MeeGo", MeeGo has no 'de facto' UX. if your app runs well on devices of a given format factor with MeeGo, that's what we're looking for. and hopefully we can bring our efforts together in striving towards that goal. > When the message is known, it'd be easier for app developers to decide > if investing in nonstandard UX-es is comfortable decision within the > 'Active' initiative. At least for me... there is no non-standard UX. if your app is touch friendly, uses technologies like QtQuick .. that's what's important. it isn't about targeting the plasma- mobile shell. it's about making your app ready for use on devices other than laptops/desktops. KDE has been lacking a shared, cooperative, open effort to do this. instead we've had many different projects all achieving less than we can together. -- Aaron J.
