If that works then great! By all means let's test it and endorse it. At the

encourage them to submit it.)

Yes, should definitely be tried out. I have only looked at the contents of the layer, and the overview part of the documentation, so I might have a bit rosier picture of it :)

I'm not sure how much attention Qt wants to draw to it - they probably want to lure people into commercial support contracts instead. However, the layer *is* licensed under GPLv3, and it pulls all code from public repos. And I can also imagine they could be quite happy to have Qt designated the official reference UI in YP.

You and I might understand that, but someone coming to the project fresh
won't, mainly because we've never officially stated that anywhere. The only
mention of anything like it is in fact the opposite - in the development
manual we state "The Yocto Project ... also features the Sato reference User
Interface, which is optimized for stylus-driven, low-resolution screens.".
Granted, that statement is probably as old as Sato itself, but I think it
speaks to how organised our messaging is on this topic.

Yes, in 2017 this statement should be changed to reflect reality.
