[maemo-developers] [Hildon-Extras] New widgets: about dialog, simple color dialog

[From: Cornelius Hald]

Hi Thomas,

thanks a lot for this addition. I'm still too busy with other stuff and
can't do anything useful right now. However if everything goes as
planned, I might have some free time in March.

I'm planning to integrate all the hildon-extras goodies into Conboy.
Then I could push towards a release of hildon-extras. What do you (all
of you) think. I mean we had this discussion some time ago, but now a
couple of projects are actively using hildon-extras code. How does it
work for you? Is is okay to do copy & paste, or would a release be
helpful?

Other thoughts about the future of hildon-extras? Missing widgets? Bugs?
Stuff?

Cheers!
Conny
