Intel/Meego might be more likely to respond to this than Nokia. Also the current CPD is tied to KDE and I think it would be better to decouple it from KDE and make it a generic/native Qt app. This would in the long run make it more attractive to Nokia/Intel and other Meego vendors while at the same time supporting KDE. If anything this should result in wider use of the CPD. I have a contact at Intel who is part of the Meego team. I am not sure if he can help but I will contact him to see if there is any interest. Probably will not go anywhere but it can't hurt to try. Hal
