[edit] Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide a usable and touch-friendly user interface for tablet devices and phones based on the proven Hildon UI. Our target audience is the people who prefer the Maemo UI, and wish to have a better user experience than other current UXes provide. We wish to achieve our goal by the following:

  • As necessary, work with GTK+ developers and push required changes upstream
  • Merge unofficial Hildon Desktop fixes and improvements scattered around the Maemo community and elsewhere
  • Move from GNOME-VFS to GIO
  • Allow seamless Qt applications and widgets integration

or, to put it another way:

  • As much of the Maemo UI as we can get outside of Maemo.


[edit] Installation

A script to facilitate installation instructions can be found here:
