Hi people,
Don't have much experience in programming, more knowledge on Linux
administration.
But can help with software testing, and if the group like the idea, can
translate Nemo to get a Spanish version of the OS.
Regards,
Xavinux

Hi,
There are many ways to help:
- If you are a creative person, you can get in contact with Michael
and help create the new look and feel
- Once we have a clear vision, if you are a developer, you can help
code the new component styles and/or port the existing apps to Qt 5
using the new components
- Once we have something that works, if you are an end user, you can
help out by testing the software and reporting bugs you find in it.
Cheers,
Timur

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
