looking good maybe I have missed that info, you are planning to make two versions, which one is slided to the left and second to the right ? or it is slidable both sides ? (just looking at the pictures, that the position of camera is changing)

Define quality...
For me quality is not only working (now and ten times after), but with a set of defined specs. When the price will be somewhere between €100~€150, I'd expect flawless functionality. Because I haven't heard any concrete definitions about quality (maybe subjective ones) I'd really like to judge myself. Especially when I hear this:
The keyboard works fine with native Jolla Apps, but not with Android apps either from Yandex or Amazon app stores...
I can say that there is no planned changes to this in update 8.
In my opinion, this is part of quality, I mean basic functionality

"I can say that there is no planned changes to this in update 8."

We're currently at Update 9 opt-in so who knows what has changed. And besides: when TOHKBD hits 'the market' we're at least at Update 10 (if Update 10 doesn't get delayed, that is) so who knows what that'll bring.

Price is not gonna be 150 euros but agreed on the quality part. But I have no doubts Dirk'll make sure it's good quality

Yeah, actually I didn't have quality in mind when I wrote that post. I should've wrote reliability instead of quality. Quality is really tied to individual's expectations, so that's one thing hard to promise (though it's used in business in marketing purposes, most often it means nothing in that context, just a fluff word).

I do agree with your post though.

I particularly like how it is used in ISO 9000. In that context, it means nothing but traceability. You can consistently produce total cr@p - as long as you keep a paper trail everywhere, you can get an ISO 900 certifiction. I have learned to treat the "ISO 900 certified" label as "stay away".

Exactly. I took part in implementing ISO9001 to a subcontracting company a bit over 20 years ago. We actually got DNV-certified in the process.
Important thing in certification is the repeatibility and traceability of process.
It is not enough to produce total cr@p with nice paper trail, you also need to consistently produce the same cr@p all the time.

Well, consistent cr@p has a place in the order of things...

I'm 200% sure Dirk will not produce ISO900 crap so can we please go ontopic?
