+1 for Core OS. In pushing to promote PySide as "the" rapid prototyping and development approach you get people saying it is not even official in either of the platforms. There has been already much investment and efforts going into PySide that I think this is really just a natural proceeding. This is a great technology, being developed in the open, enabling those who still are not C++ experts to develop for Harmattan right now. Something that can enable us to target wider developer audience for the upcoming platform and widen even greater the developer offering for Nokia. Not to mention it makes it easier for people that want to migrate from other platforms and programming languages that are far enough from C++ to do so in a true "rapid" way. -Sivan _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
