Agreed - there are many Qt widgets which could simply be hildonised.
I wonder about session management and hibernation for example.

Sadly the version 5 gallery includes lots of deprecated widgets and few (if any)
new ones:

Some make sense though and I'd like to see them up for community contribution?
Ideally there would be agreement on which and what API would be acceptable and
then refinement of implementation.

Is this something that can be put up on the wiki?

What's planned (ever) and where we are?
