Mer/Goals

Mer 1.0 is the first release where it should be relatively painless to use Mer on a day-to-day basis using N800, N810(W)s.

Requirements specification, related to the N8x0:
 * Images:
 * a 100% free rootfs, which uses firmware from Nokia-provided initfs to provide WiFi and Bluetooth firmware.
 * Fully flashable FIASCO image containing kernel, initfs and rootfs. Will include closed-source bits for HW interfacing and other useful things to not lose functionality. Generated behind the maemo.org server walls and downloadable with a EULA.
 * WLAN working without hassle, and doing proper power saving. Firmware included in initfs.
 * Audio working, ideally without having to resort to DSP tasks, but if this is not possible, included in restricted image.
 * Bluetooth working. Firmware included in initfs. Bluetooth tethering, PAN and DUN.
 * USB host, otg and gadget (serial, ethernet, mass storage) modes configurable.
 * At least kernel 2.6.21, ideally later.
 * Touch screen calibration possible.
 * X driver or Xomap with manual updates.
 * Backlight level, screen blanking wired into HAL

Cross-platform Mer image:
 * Backlight and audio: Advanced backlight
 * File Manager (finefm is a good candidate]
 * Media Player (Canola2)
 * Images viewer (Quiver? Is closed source but maybe the author would be interested?)
 * Maps (Maemo Mapper)
 * RSS feed reader (the open source Nokia one, osso-rss-feed-reader, and maybe Stylus Friendly RSS Home Applet)
 * Calculator (galculator-hildon )
 * Notes (Maemopad+, Xournal?)
 * PDF reader (the open source Nokia one? osso-pdf-viewer)
