Actually, the S60 All-in-one SDKs seems to support Python development (officially). So I don't feel Py60 should be seen just as another open source project started by someone within Nokia. (Source: http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/ec866fab-4b76-49f6-b5a5-af0631419e9c/S60_All_in_One_SDKs.html) Coming back to the topic, personally, I feel the FSO interface should have been adopted. D-Bus based APIs? OFono seems to be an alternate standard to what FSO already established. While choice is good when it comes to implementations, too much "choice" in interfaces/standards, fragments the community, and much productivity is lost in duplicating stuff. - Ajith Hussain, Senior Software Engineer, Devices R&D, Nokia _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
