Whatever a Novell employee wants to explain about MeeGo is even more independent from Maemo 5 work, obviously.

fwiw Novell has been working on netbook integration and application development since the Moblin days, and they continue to do so in MeeGo.

I know that MeeGo on the n900 is visibly just a terminal but some sexy eye candy showing the GUI stuff would be really nice.

Just to clarify "sexy eye candy showing the GUI" should mean:
(a) pretty lady holding n900 with MeeGo installed or
(b) screenshots of current progress of GUI or
(c) (a) and (b)

No. People are talking about three UI-s in this thread (hello branding confusion). The first is the MeeGo desktop (as in netbooks, maybe tablets) reference UX, which is the one that is announced for April. The second is the MeeGo mobile (as in phones) reference UX, which has no announced date yet, but I guess it should be part of the 'full' MeeGo release, which is said to be in May. The third is the Harmattan GUI, which is the Nokia customization of the MeeGo mobile reference UX, due 2010H2.

That's made things alot clearer.

This maybe a bit off-topic....

Can I assume that the current MeeGo release for the n900 has a fairly complete set of core-components and most stuff that will underpin the GUI is already present?

1) If that is the case then MeeGo "desktop" gui (due in April) can be installed on the current n900 MeeGo installation?

2) Can the Meego Mobile gui be installed onto the n900 MeeGo installation (e.g. an app that allows you to make phone calls)?

3) Is Nokia's version of Mobile gui totally seperate or does this just mean Nokia have developed additional components?

Correct, these core components are provided by Qt.

Technically yes, but it's anybody's guess just how useable will these os-chimeras be on the N900 in real life. The most difficult will be with the phone part, as it's a closed-driver thing and without any documentation I know of. Nokia DID provide a separate image with WiFi/BT drivers for the initial code-dump, but AFAIK the GSM stuff is still missing.

3) Is Nokia's version of Mobile gui totally seperate or does this just mean Nokia have developed additional components?
This is pretty much unknown ATM. As it's relatively easy to make new GUIs with Qt, I'd expect significant differences (as they said a while back that it's the UX layer where they expect the most vendor customization), especially in components that are closed source (say, Media Player ? Was closed in all previous releases, we have yet to see its status in Harmattan)
