Talk:MeeGo Desktop

Revision as of 19:54, 4 August 2010

I like the idea to make a desktop release of MeeGo. To base this desktop experience on the "netbook UX" is probably the fastest way to get started, but I think it would be even better in the longer term if the "desktop UX" could be derived from KDE :

• KDE 4 is now a mature and awesome desktop shell.
• KDE has a rich and powerfull community. Making KDE the MeeGo "Desktop UX" could boost their interest in MeeGo.
• KDE has a lot of great application for the desktop.
• KDE is completely Qt-based, so it is a smart choice considering the central role of Qt in MeeGo.
• I have read (planetkde.org or a youtube video?) that there is KDE devs interested in porting KDE to MeeGo.

Bzhbok,

Thanks for your comments! Using "netbook UX" helps to develop applications for MeeGo Netbook. So it should be kept. KDE or GNOME can be two add-on options.

Thanks for the rapid reply. I'm not sure to understand why using the "netbook UX" helps to develop applications for MeeGo Netbook : I thought that the prefered way to make apps for MeeGo is to write it in pure Qt, regardless of the targeted UX. So the choosen desktop shell should have little impact on the way to write applications, no ? Bzhbok 19:54, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
