No, I ran the full OS, except the kernel. And except Bluetooth, telephony.. the usual gang.
IMHO, the only thing I really wanted from webOS to be opensourced is Enyo, and that's exactly the only thing that has been confirmed 100% to be opensource (among other things, and to the best of my knowledge, because HP owns 100% of it, unlike the rest of webOS).
Having Enyo open means that you can run the standard webOS applications wherever you want, including a plain desktop webkit-based browser (this has been done already with Chrome...).
Mojo would also be nice, but it's slightly more tied to the webOS browser, aiui.
The rest of the OS is nice and good-looking, but Meego/Mer is a better distro IMHO. As for Luna, by now people have been doing better things using QML (think how easy it would be to replicate the card view in QML).
