== Get involved ==

See the [[/Development]] section to know more about the project status and areas welcoming help.
 +
 
 +
We welcome testers and contributors!
 +

Miniature is a Qt application with a C/C++ backend and a QML UI. The architecture is modular, thinking on the addition of different servers and types of interaction. If you are thinking on bringing new features let us convince you.  :)
 +
 
 +
We are targeting our development on MeeGo Harmattan and the Nokia N9 but we welcome maintainers for other ports e.g. MeeGo upstream, Symbian, Android-Necessitas, Qt powered desktops...

 +
== History ==
 +
 
 +
Yes, we do have some history at this point. It all started here:
 +
