== Goals for Mer 1.0 ==

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.
* Battery information available.
* 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
* FM Radio app: [http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/boafm/ BoaFM]

Cross-platform Mer image - goal: must fit in 240mb compressed.
* Backlight and audio: [http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/advanced-backlight/ Advanced backlight, '''ported''']
* File Manager ([http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/course/15-821-finefm/ finefm] is a good candidate]
* Media Player ([http://openbossa.indt.org/canola2/ Canola2])
* Images viewer (Quiver? Is closed source but maybe the author would be interested?, [http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/mirage/Mirage Mirage, '''ported'''] is a good candidate too)
* Maps ([http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/maemo-mapper/ Maemo Mapper])
* RSS feed reader (the open source Nokia one, osso-rss-feed-reader, and maybe Stylus Friendly RSS Home Applet)
* Calculator ([http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/galculator/ galculator-hildon] )
* Notes ([http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/maemopadplus/ Maemopad+, '''ported'''], [http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/xournal/ Xournal])

* Clock: large-statusbar-clock, 
* Games: osso-mahjong, osso-marbles, osso-chess, Aisleriot solitaire, Maemosweeper, Crazyparking?
* E-mail: [http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/claws-mail/ Claws Mail]?, [http://modest.garage.maemo.org/ Modest]?
