The desktop version is based on Qt, so that will significantly reduce the workload as far as porting is concerned. I haven't personally tested Qt Widgets on Meego-Harmattan, but I would say that the desktop UI would be unsuitable in any case, so it would need to be rewritten using QML. This in turn would probably require some changes to the backend, to make the necessary properties/data models available to the QML UI.

I've written QWidget code for Harmattan. It is not finger friendly at all - the capacitive touch screen and small text size makes menu navigation almost impossible.

Would someone who knows programming care to comment on how difficult it is to port to meego an ubuntu program? The folks at mendeley are VERY busy integrating more functionality at their program, but they have already made numerous linux versions. It would really help our argument if we could convincingly argue that such a port would not be hard. I imagine that the backend would be similar, with only UX changes required, but I it's very possible that I'm wrong. So-anyone interested?
PS. There is a vote to publish the desktop program under GPL. If they did that then we could actually port it ourselves. Maybe it's more realistic to back up that proposal instead?
