Good to know, I was expecting it to be the other way around. Probably because we're talking about Harmattan for almost a year now ;) I'm expecting more activity around Hildon/MeeGo once the first SDK including the UX is released. > At least from a theoretical point of view it made sense to work out the > support for GTK+ and Hildon related activities with the GNOME > Foundation, since it's an organization able to invoice that has the > overall responsibility of the GNOME and GNOME Mobile projects.

It looks like they (Igalia) are busy with something else.
