I didn't really understand that part ;) Where is/should be the discussion? On gtk-devel-list or mobile-devel-list? Shouldn't the developers be part of that decision process? At the moment it looks to me that there is some money, but no one willing/able to do the work. Where is this discussion that happened for a couple of weeks? > It's certainly not too late! Head over there & pipe up now. Is there anything a simple application developer can do? I'm just asking before I put useless energy into this. > Please do make these suggestions upstream.

Again, where exactly is upstream? By reading the other mails from Kimmo and Javier, there are some issues, but they are already quite well know. Javier will work on the input methods which is great. To me it sound like having another 3 or 4 GSoC-like projects should be enough to get initial work done. 50.000 would be enough for that. Thanks for your input Dave! If you point me to the right threads, I'll see whether or not I can contribute something.
