You'd best check with DougT, failing that see what contacts the Mozilla Foundation have with Nokia and see if Nokia are aware of your efforts to get Minimo up and running on the 770. Perhaps start with Alex Bishop from Mozillazine, or go straight to the top and contact Brendan Eich. Alternatively, Ari Jaaksi runs the Nokia Open Source development operation and one would hope he has a clue what Nokia are up to.
It does seem odd that Nokia aren't already involved with a 770 Minimo port, although more recently Nokia seem to have spent their time developing their own Symbian/S60 browser based on KHTML.
It's been 2+ years since their apparent involvement with Mozilla Foundation began, and with only one guy (DougT) appearing to be working on the Minimo project maybe Nokia have cut their losses and decided to stick with Opera and KHTML for now.
Talk about scatter gun approach to product selection - if you can't decide which one to support, support 'em all!
First install didn't add an entry on the Extras menu (not even after a reboot) so I uninstalled and re-installed a second time at which point the entry appeared. After installing I didn't notice any instability with other applications, but had to uninstall as on the whole I found 0.16.1 unusable since the soft keyboard would not appear meaning it was impossible to enter new URLs!
I guess soft keyboard support will be added in due course - I look forward to seeing Minimo and tabbed browsing available on the 770 eventually!
opening about:config in minimo and changing nglayout.initialpaint.delay to 5
speeds it up considerably also changing browser.download.dir to a directory
that exists might be a start to geting downloads to work
I was unable to log in to gmail. I could enter my name and password, but when I tapped on the submit button it just sat there. Any ideas? Otherwise it looks really nice vs. opera.

milhouse, I can not talk in name of nokia, and neither could nor want to ... So I am not claiming nokia is not involved on mozilla stuff targeting n770 ... I am just talking about my port job ! (Just to clarify things )
and yes, there are lot of rumors about nokia and minimo ... not sure about any of them

It'll be fixed on next releases ... thanks for reporting
Great work. The application font for menus, title bars etc doesn't seem to obey the theme preferences. Any plans to include that in future releases?
Yeap, Konfoo, but currently I'll spend time on usability and more needed features ... but after getting it stable, themes , fonts and look'n'feel issues will be under attack
