[maemo-community] [GSoC 09] - Integrating Maemo in Open Embedded

[From: David Greaves]

Also worth noting that we have some Zaurus people around and I/we did look at OE
for Mer but felt that we wanted more compatibility with maemo etc to allow
access to things like "Extras".

There would be a *lot* of work in just repackaging software before you even
start to hack at any code.
