Are you keeping your reimplementation efforts public somewhere (e.g.
code repository, blog posts)? Which component(s) are you currently
working on (and the status of each one)?

There could be people interested on helping out as well, so some sort
of status report and code sharing (even if non-working) is valuable
(IMHO). For now, I am interested at least on monitoring the ongoing
efforts on reimplementing proprietary code from Maemo 5.

Thanks!
