Until https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Main_Page is open I've created this page for Sailfish/Silica links, tips, hacks, feel free to add related content. Code links for the App List most welcome.

About Sailfish OS

Sailfish is a Linux-based mobile operating system developed by Jolla in cooperation with the Mer project and supported by the Sailfish Alliance. Although it is primarily targeted at mobile phones, it is also intended to support other categories of devices.

The Sailfish OS and the Sailfish Software development kit are based on the Linux kernel and Mer.

• Hardware, for Jolla's devices having "The other half"
• Linux kernel
• Mer drivers layer and Android drivers through libhybris
• Mer layer: System essentials, Multimedia, Graphics (Wayland), Security, Build and Development (Qt, Qt Webkit, QML, HTML5, Alien Dalvik Android compatibility and others)
• UI and middleware: Home screen & switcher, Real live multitasking, Input methods, Ambiance themes, Multimedia codecs
• Applications (Mer, Meego, Sailfish and Android apps are supported) with multiple application stores

Unofficial third party organization on Github

If your app is open source, consider adding it to the "Sailfish OS third party open source apps collection" on Github. This makes it easier to discover new apps and collaborate in a central place. You can also work on your apps in your own repository and fork it to the Sailfish Apps organization:

• Sailfish Apps: https://github.com/sailfishapps/
• Harmattan: https://github.com/harmattan/
