The ones you listed are the ones that were there really early in the process, even before I joined the effort :) I think these files haven't been touched for a long long time now, at least I've never touched them. Probably it was mainly Marius (Monsen) when he started thinking about the project...sorry but I don't know enough about this phase of the project to give you more information.. :( > If QAIM is not the future and itemviews-ng is not in Qt components, is there > a replacement for the InterView system? Good question. IMHO we should give some love to the ItemView system for Qt5... > Yes, I understand that that is the concept of QtComponents.

Is there a new strategy? Yes and Yes. The idea since the beginning was to share the business logic between QWidgets and the new QML ones as this is the part of QWidgets that has a lot of history and that covers a lot of corner cases. The project suffered a little bit due to this concept as nobody wanted to touch QWidgets and people started to slowly replace the c++ code (like the 'range model' that came from the slider's logic) with at most JavaScript code because it was simpler and easier to maintain. Maybe this is a topic for Qt summit, but despite my opinion on this matter I don't see any possible change on this strategy as a lot of people agreed with it and seems happy with it... Summary: today's qt components are a set of APIs (http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTCOMPONENTS-200) that widget developers should follow (ie Symbian, MeeGo and Plasma components follow that API), and research about the desktop case (mainly by Oslo guys so I can't say much here) and accessibility.
