It is almost 1.5 months since the last status report, so I apologize for my tardiness.
1.5 weeks ago the pilot site was send for review by an internal team, to check whether it matches the MeeGo branding, etc. It also tested its readiness for release. The outcome of the review was that the site was not ready for release and lacked content. It also had some usability issues.
Since the review the development team has been working on the issues raised during the review, and hopefully the site will be in a condition for re-review this week. For those that are interested, access can be arranged to the pilot site.
There is a prototype drupal site that will be used to create the necessary themeing etc. This week the plan is to improve the quality of this site and set up access for additional testers.
The Drupal implementation work has started and a pilot site with some functionality is expected this week. The initial reference guide for the MeeGo API has been produced, mapping the MeeGo architectural services to lower-level APIs, to make the MeeGo API a conceptual whole.

So far this week we have had some meeting about the way of working (basecamp has been chosen as a project management tool), and are putting together the project team.
The current status is that Nokia has contacted several design agencies who are capable of creating web site design with additional material. The initial offers have been received, and Nokia is now choosing which subcontractor to use for this work.
