There's such a thing in Qt with such a horrible name or are you just pulling
our legs? :-)
Anyway, we flew Kristian Høgsberg in to the Qt Contributor Summit here in
Berlin and he's been busy discussing with the other Qt devs and contributors.
I've seen many Lighthouse and Wayland sessions listed, including one today
"Input methods in Wayland and Qt 5".
Notes should be published by the participants soon (probably after they get
back home).
As for the Qt 5 discussion we had in San Francisco, it was basically focussing
on getting Wayland running and, the bulk of the discussion, Scene Graph.
The state of things right now is that Qt 4.8 brings the Lighthouse project
(the QPA platform), which has a Wayland plugin backend. So getting Wayland to
run on Qt 4.8 is definitely possible. We know that the plugin API in Qt 4.8 is
lacking some things -- for example, it's lacking a way to do an
indicators/system tray integration. Those are being dealt with, but only for
Qt 5.0.
However, from the discussions in SF, it became clear that the biggest win can
be achieved only if we couple Wayland with the Scene Graph and the Qt Quick
2.0 stack. That's a technology that was never intended to be released inside
Qt 4.8 (we only said "same time as 4.8"). It does work right now and the
preliminary results are very good.
So we agreed that we need to keep two branches being tested: a Qt 4.8 with
Scene Graph backport and Qt 5. By late August, we need to make a choice which
one we'll use for MeeGo 1.3 and productise that. That Qt version will be used
only for specific programs that have been tested to work with it -- the rest
should use a standard X11 architecture, reducing the platform risk.
