Browser and WLAN for Meego 1.2 N900 Developer Edition

The team contributes to making Intenet browsing experience great on N900 MeeGo 1.2 Developer Edition.

Target is to utilize existing Fennec port to meego in Developer Edition and we will collaborate with the existing team. However, if it looks like that Fennec does not meet performance requirements, we will consider having also an alternative browser in Developer Edition.

As the project is open, the communications are also open. Project communications will mainly happen in public IRC and public mailing lists, and meego.com wiki. We do planning on meego.com wiki and featurezilla. Meego.com bugzilla will be used for bugs. We are welcoming contributions and participation from community.
