It is safe to say that this will happen. The question is when and how. Bedf

For what I know, and before talking directly to the Browser team:

The engine development is done in Mozilla's trunk and can be followed and
contributed to already now. It's pure upstream development. Maybe precisions
can be made on this, and maybe there is something that could be done from a
maemo community perspective.

The browser UI is a delicate piece *now* but I don't see any problem moving to
open when the beta SDK is out, and perhaps a bit sooner than that.

As http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Maemo_roadmap/Fremantle states "Beta SDK released
between March-May" it's probably a good time to ping again if there's some
progress or if this is too complicated (legal issues etc) to get it sorted out
for the beta SDK.

We have got some unexpected events. The Mozilla / maemo Danish Weekend should
be a good occasion to talk about open source browser plans...

Any details? This sounds like it could be really bad or really good.

Comment 5 Quim Gil 2009-04-14 14:18:17 UTC

It's really good and it's just a matter of timing. Something that we expected
to happen by the Fremantle beta will take more time. Sorry but I can't provide
more details now...

Comment 6 Andre Klapper 2009-09-24 15:54:58 UTC

Quim, will this happen after Fremantle release?

Has this "really good" thing still not happened? Looks like this ticket has
gone cold...

Comment 8 Andre Klapper 2010-08-10 18:12:33 UTC

Quim: What is the status of this, also having  bug 7377 comment 7 in mind?

Comment 9 Quim Gil 2010-08-10 19:51:41 UTC

Can't comment currently, sorry. Yes, most of us (including the Browser
developers) want to see this report FIXED but we must wait.

In light of https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11128#c8 is this going to be
revisited?

Comment 11 Andre Klapper 2012-03-21 18:07:23 UTC

The Maemo 5 User Interface and Maemo 5 platform components (e.g. libraries)
used for the N900 are considered stable by Nokia, hence resetting the ASSIGNED
status to NEW/UNCONFIRMED as nobody is working on this.

Note that very likely any feature requests for Maemo5 will not receive fixes
(WONTFIX) - I might mass-set this status in the future. There is a very small
chance for issues in open source components that contributed patches could be
included in the Maemo 5 CSSU Community updates - see http://wiki.maemo.org/CSSU
for more information.


For completeness (as Harmattan is mentioned in some reports), MeeGo 1.2
Harmattan used for the N9 and N950 is handled in
http://harmattan-bugs.nokia.com/ which has recently been closed for new bug
report entry [1].

Comment 12 Andre Klapper 2012-03-24 11:40:10 UTC

The Maemo 5 User Interface and Maemo 5 platform components (e.g. libraries)
used for the N900 are considered stable by Nokia and it seems that there are no
plans for official updates currently, hence nobody plans to work on this
enhancement/wishlist request. 
(And in case you feel like discussing this situation: Nokia Customer Care or
http://talk.maemo.org would be the place to do so as you will not reach Nokia
officials in this community bugtracker - though all of this is really no news.)

Reflecting this status by setting RESOLVED WONTFIX for this
enhancement/wishlist request (see
https://bugs.maemo.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#status for status explanations).

There is a small chance for issues in those Maemo components that are open
source: Contributed patches could be included and made available in the Maemo 5
Community CSSU updates. 
The Maemo CSSU project is run by a small team of volunteers; see
http://wiki.maemo.org/CSSU for more information.
So in case that you can provide a patch that fixes the reported problem, please
feel encouraged to file a request under
https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Maemo%205%20Community%20SSU .
Please note: The Maemo CSSU project is not related in any way to Nokia.
