== Intro ==
+
-
[[Miniature]] is based on the official [http://qt.nokia.com/developer/qt-for-maemo-developers Qt 4.6 for Maemo] and its [http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6-snapshot/graphicsview.html Graphics View framework]. Most of our work focuses on developing a UI layer optimized for mobile touch devices. When it comes to the backend we want to recycle as much as possible from existing chess engines.
+
-
The development is guided by the roadmap and is organized by phases bringing new features to our users. The organization of the roadmap is based on a pragmatical implementation of [[Miniature#The_concept|the Miniature concept]] taking into account features missing in Maemo, existing chess projects and the requests from current and potential users.

Most content of this page has moved to http://miniature-chess.org/
