Lately I received some very useful patches, menu implementation, partial bluetooth, etc which I'm very grateful. 
Sadly we are ONLY two which are *committed* to this project: me and you (Ray) !

* Qt framework
 - most of ( maybe all ) tests and benchmarks must pass ! Is very useful to check any new patches.
 - finish style plugin (look&feel).
 - finish menus implementation, menu bar was pushed to alpha4 branch, it remains context menu.

 * QtMobility needs more love:
  - contacts must be rewritten, current implementation it crashes on my phone with 150+ contacts.
  - proper camera support.
  - multimedia must have a better implementation.
  - other things which I can't remember now, please check current open issues [1]

 I manage to update QtCreator, it seems to work ok, I'll push today latest work on 2.5 branch !
