Sorry that's partly my fault... Yikes, there's quite a few more viewers here than the other thread now.
The purpose of this thread's explained here, & in subsequent posts...
We can still have lots of posts, but they should be centred around what's in the docs, what's not, & how they're structured/formatted.

Which wiki is that?

Got it (https://sailfishos.org/wiki/QA)

You know the eyes in the video? I reckon it's the motion sensor

For me it's still a little too early to get terribly excited, I want to hear more about the overall strategy, they glossed over it quite bit, made me nervous.
Plus I want to see their Sailfish device(s) with the native UX/apps running, hear about their services/cloud integration plans etc, & the compatibility layers (if any) for BBX/Android/iOS.
Just realised 15:00GMT's 1am here, too buy lately, might go to bed soon & wake-up about 4hrs after the presentation's finished, man it blows being at the ***-end of the world >.>

"Jolla's Senior Designer Jaakko Roppola gave http://bit.ly/KickNetwork a personal hands-on first look on the user interface of their Sailfish OS. The video was shot November 21st at Slush 2012 in Helsinki."

One thing wasn't clear to me at all. Is Sailfish a generic layer of OS+UI built for more vendors to share and extend? Kind of Mer idea, but on a higher level. And is it fully open? If so, then Jolla's OS will be an extension of Sailifish, not Sailfish itself. And the extended part will contain the closed UI.

Or Sailfish is referring to the Jolla's only release, with that very closed UI? I didn't really understand it from the presentation, and it's not clear from the QA on their wiki.

My understanding is:

Sailfish OS is built on top of Mer core (with HW adaptation etc). The Jolla devices will have a closed UX on top of Sailfish. Other vendors may use alternative UXs with Sailfish.

They better explain it on their wiki, since it's not an obvious deduction. Also, if it's fully open, where is the source?
