Hi,
About a week ago at Devaamo I was fortunate to meet with a bunch of
Nemo guys. Together we discussed and debated ideas to move forward
from the current situation to one where Nemo looks nice and is a
pleasure to use.
We feel that currently, the whole Nemo UI looks like just a cheap
copy. We think we could do better than that.
Michael proposed the idea of making a whole new set of UI components
for Nemo, instead of continuing to use the deprecated MeeGo
components, and we think this is generally a good idea, especially now
that we have Qt Quick Controls in Qt 5.1.
With Qt Quick Controls, one can just use a set of standard components
while still being able to maintain a custom look and feel. This means
that we can create our own components without further fragmenting the
already fragmented world of Qt Quick APIs.
If you are interested, here are some links:

The other important thing is to think about the home screen experience.
We think that the way forward in this regard is going for Wayland.
There is already some development in the source tree.
In other news, Robin and the others were able to get Wayland working
on the Nokia N9(50) devices, and there is also good progress on making
it work on libhybris-based hardware adaptations. Carsten can fill in
more details here.
We're looking forward to hearing what you think about these things and
any ideas you have.
Cheers,
Timur
