I'll take a look at Meego - as long as I can get WiFi working, most of the rest can wait.

Re: Plasma on N810
...Actually, though, what I'm after is more like the work that's been done on the Kontact summary page - I don't need a full-out workspace-style shell. I'll take a look at Techbase when I get a chance, and see how things look in that regard. - Jeffery MacEachern On Mon, Oct 4, 2010 at 04:20, Jeffery MacEachern j.maceach...@gmail.com wrote: On Mon, Oct 4, 2010 at 04:15, Artur de Souza aso...@kde.org wrote: Hi, Quoting Jeffery MacEachern j.maceach...@gmail.com: Has anyone tried running a recent version of Plasma on the N810 (under Maemo or MeeGo)?
