What about a proper non-non-GL desktop?

This is a good decision. If Mer becomes usable it will attract users. And if it has users then it will have more developers willing to help. I would say – try to make something usable as soon as possible even if it is not polished and requires for example command-line in order to configure. I think the following features are enough in order to say Mer is usable:
  • Good power-saving
  • Able to connect to WIFI
  • Sound&video
  • Able to install (maybe with recompilation) the applications of Debian OR Ubuntu OR some of the flavors of maemo.

I don't think the binaries will work as they are - they'll need to be recompiled by Nokia, I think.

For X86 they should work as-is, but I'm working on a new snapshot that makes some things easier (I forgot a glib symbol)

So has this new Mer moved forward during past month and is there a schedule for version 1.0?
