  • Maintain 100% compatibility for all apps
  • Install on N8x0 NITs with cooperation of Nokia
  • Provide changelog
  • User level documentation (NOT a hacker's edition)
  • Timeline: 2-4 months(?)

2010 Update

  • More bug fixes, enhancements (RtComm (or Ofono))?
  • Rewrite or open previously closed components of Diablo
  • Promote new features and enhancements to Diablo
