Zoltán Balogh, developer at Canonical, confirmed in an open email on Wednesday that the discussion about APIs was underway, and invited anyone interested in QML to participate. “Clearly a productive collaboration between communities and companies would be something revolutionary,” he wrote.
The proposed cooperation attempts to not only simplify UI development, but establish long-term links between Canonical, Jolla and KDE staff. “There are also discussions underway regarding other aspects of the bigger puzzle such as common package formats and delivery strategies,” wrote Aaron Seigo from KDE on his blog.
“We are poised, should we keep our heads straight and our feet moving, to evolve that holiest of grails in the mobile space: an open and vendor neutral application development strategy built around the commonality of QtQuick and Linux,” he added.

In 2002, a major survey was performed to free/open source software developers. With over 2500 respondants, it had a major impact in community, academia and even politics. Since then, many things have changed, among others, the ecosystem that has fluorished around open source mobile operative systems. In 2013, we want to recreate the survey with the goal of seeing how the community is nowadays and how it has changed.
If you are a contributor of any type (not only a developer!) to an open source project, we encourage you to participate in the survey. It takes around 10-15 minutes:

We would also be grateful if you disseminate this announcement among your community and peers. In our website you can find more information about the survey, including privacy, results, authors and publications.
Thanks!

UPDATE: Somebody just pointed me to a Jolla website that does what I had suggested here (sorry, I am not allowed to post URLs, yet):

Original post:
I am convinced that actively listening to customers is a key factor for a company's success. I love Jolla and want them to succeed. That is why I hope this suggestion will be heard.
What is needed is basically a public Scrum product backlog. This is a proven and useful tool in software development to make the most out of the available resources. But instead of using a product backlog internally only, it should be used as a public tool to find out what customers really want.
Main features:
There must be only one wish list and Jolla must support it officially. It would best ship with the Sailfish OS itself as a (removable) app or a link to a web application.
Registered users can post requests and vote for items on the list. Jolla developers try to work on the top items with priority. The wish list would also be a great source for 3rd parties who want to know what native apps or "other halves" are most wanted.
Bugs and requests for new features must go on the same list. The only thing that counts is whether customers demand it or not.
Human moderators are required to make sure that all requests on the wish list are unique, clear and tagged with the correct keywords. Rather than creating multiple similar items, it must be possible for users to add variations, comments or additions to existing items. Jolla could probably even find volunteer moderators in the community.
No language fragmentation: English as the main language, users may contribute translations to any number of languages.
No region fragmentation: Should Sailfish have more installations in China than elsewhere, then the Chinese wishes are served first. We trust in our Jolla friends from Asia
I think Jolla has the potential to become the best mobile OS. But I think they will depend on the help of a patient and friendly community. A customer-driven product backlog would practically guarantee that Sailfish evolves in the right direction and in the fastest possible way.
:highfive: If somebody has contacts to Jolla employees: Could you please call their attention to this idea? :highfive:
maybe you can: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=91721
