Nemo Roadmap

Original targets

In the first Nemo Mobile steering group meeting (2011-10-04) the following were agreed as targets:

Content

  • Apps are QML/components, MTF-legacy apps - the proposal is to replace the MTF legacy apps with community developed QML ones
  • Base Nemo on top of this Mer
  • HTML5/WAC support app support, alongside the qml ones
  • Trying to maintain good compatibility with Harmattan apps
  • HW adaptations:
    • Focus on Nokia Linux handsets
    • IA32 around for development, experimentation and it being an experimental target (until someone stabilizes it)
    • if anyone want to work Nemo on other targets, they're welcome

Process & Organization

  • Open governance, lead by steering group
  • Nemo will be a reference vendor of Mer
  • Continous releases (ie, no major scheduled releases, but like weekly, etc) and have a focus to have 'zypper up' working
  • Own bugzilla

Current Long term Targets

Targets have moved a bit during the project and are now more or less the following.

Content

  • Replace MTF apps and UX with QML
  • Qt5
  • Wayland
  • Trying to maintain good compatibility with Harmattan QtComponents apps
  • HTML5/WAC support app support, alongside the qml ones
  • HW adaptations:
    • maintain current HW adaptations (N900, N950, x86)
    • accept new ones

Process & Organization

  • Continue to contribute to Mer
  • Move to own infrastructure
  • Continues releases
  • Apps forMeego.org -support
  • Support new contributors by documenting and helping
  • Instead of Steering Group, weekly open contributor meetings, chair (Carsten Munk), and Nemo presentation in Mer council (Jukka Eklund)

Status

  • Rebase to Mer core done, there is more functionality already than there was on top of MeeGo
  • No apps yet replaced with QML ones after rebase to Mer, many are Work-in-progress
  • QtComponents integrated and working well
  • Theme updated to a much more beatiful
  • Good Harmattan compatibility (for most apps binary compatibility)
  • Good HW adaptions
  • No HTML5/WAC support
  • Apps.formeego.org client included and working
  • Qt 4.8

Next steps

  • New Photos, People, and Calendar applications based on QML

Near future

  • Replace remaining MTF apps with QML ones
  • HTML5 support (PhoneGap probably)

Long term

  • Replace Qt4.8 with Qt5
  • Replace X11 with wayland
  • Replace systemui, control panel, home with QML based ones (for example derived from lipstick)

Dreams

  • Open devices with good form factors, open drivers, and powerful HW
Personal tools
