I'm glad someone is taking on this project 
Never even tried the stock vkb before reading this post It's really not too bad, even if the keys in portrait mode are really thin and you can't get to the other input modes.

A few questions.
1. Do you plan to do a version for the english-netherlands h/w setup, on another language/layout, or just the setup and get those who want each vkb to do it themselves, based on what you're doing?
2 Did you find out how to edit the list of characters available in the pop-up window for symbols (Fn + Sym)? If so, what was the outcome?
3. Very off topic but I believe it's you who's been looking into browserd (as per MWKN). If this is you and you have the time, please would you post a new thread or note in the wiki elaborating on what this means? The lists message was quite brief. If it wasn't you or you don't have the time - nevermind.

1. Do you plan to do a version for the english-netherlands h/w setup, on another language/layout, or just the setup and get those who want each vkb to do it themselves, based on what you're doing?
2 Did you find out how to edit the list of characters available in the pop-up window for symbols (Fn + Sym)? If so, what was the outcome?

2.If we had a version of gen_vkb that worked with the N900, editing those files would be easy. But we dont have the right version for the N900. (the version that is out there doesn't support certain newer features of the vkb format). There are tools out there that claim to edit the vkb files but I dont know how usable they are.
and 3.Cloning browserd is aimed at helping people expand the N900 browser, including possibly bringing in a newer Gecko version. Cloning the browser UI is not possible but with the work I have done, it should be possible for someone with knowledge of Gecko internals to improve the browser stuff.
