Backstage

1. Setup development environment
   1. DONE: Miniature is hosted @ Gitorious. It uses the community port of Qt and autotroll. Warning: Miniature uses the no_keyword switch since some of the Qt macros have very common names that can lead to wierd debug sessions. It's defensive programming, and not too bad, really.
2. Setup communication channels
   1. DONE: ML @ Garage: [1]
   2. DONE: IRC channel @ freenode.net: #miniature @ irc.freenode.net

About setting up the environment

• Preview of Qt for Maemo Developers Guide
• Official Qt 4.6 port for Maemo 5, including mailing list for developer feedback.
