That looks nice but:
1.Its clearly stated that its use on Maemo5 is "not ready for prime time"
2.Its written in QT (and not only that, it uses QT version labeled 
"experimental") and takes over a lot more of the input system than I would 
like (including not using Maemo keyboard layouts which is something I want 
to keep doing)
and 3.There is no way Maliit or anything based on it would be accepted into 
the CSSU because of #1 and #2. (and the CSSU is the eventual target for any 
keyboard replacement.

The replacement that I want help to write needs to:
1.Replace as little as possible of the input system (ideally only 
hildon-im-vkbrenderer itself)
2.Not use any libs other than whats included in a stock PR1.3.x/CSSU image 
3.Be written using just GTK and not QT.
and 4.Be suitable for eventual inclusion into the CSSU.
