Thanks for the feedback Ryan.  I knew about the Diablo UI in the
current Fremantle SDK, but was not aware of the Mer project and the
upcoming SDK release deadlines.  Your info is invaluable.

Hi Felipec :)  You seem to be everywhere these days.  I've already
spoken with Juha (I got his email address from some of the older Nokia
script headers) and he was very helpful and told me a bit about his
project.  In fact, it was he that recommended I post my query to this
list.

Thanks for the link to the beagle thread, I should have searched the
list first.  I'm looking to do more than just get support for the
beagle however.  I'm interested in being able to build all of the FOSS
portions of Maemo 5 from upstream sources via OE.  Sure Scratchbox
already exists, but it only supports Maemo.  To be able to move back
and forth between Poky, Angstrom & Maemo within a single build system
seems quite convenient to me.

I've already started work on building some of the Diablo theme stuff
out of SVN (hildon-theme-*), so if anyone is interested in joining
this project then just shoot me an email and we can collaborate!

Regards,
Mike
