I've been on this list since it started and I saw that discussion but chose to ignore it since it wasn't relevant to my work or interest. However, in this case Lorn didn't get involved until after Shawn had already been bashed for happening to mention QT in a mail. >>1) Has anyone looked in to the shortest-possible route of having a >> QT-based application running on the 770. > > There has been some productive discussion regarding the significant > development necessary to get QT based apps running "natively" on the > maemo platform.

I would say that figuring out the best way to port or get a Qtopia-based application running nicely on the Maemo platform would be very much in Maemo developers interest. And if the best way is to provide a nice migrational path from QT to GTK+ be it, but keep the level of dicussion on a higher ground. >>2) If someone from Nokia could contact him for possible business to >> business communication on how to make the Komanpanys applications to >> run on the 770. > > I think this is really the problem.

Well, it's a new device and a new platform project. It's bound to have a few bumps before everything is crystal clear and it's obvious where to turn for information. It doesn't justify being rude. I'm cutting of the rant below, sorry, but you don't have to convince me that GTK+ or Open Source is good. I've been a full time OSS and GTK+ developer for more than 5 years.
