 Hello,

 I am French Engineer in Informatics and I would want to build a start
 up to  manufacture mobile phones ( OEM level ). I am currently in discussion 
with investors.

We would want to use the GPE environment but we will need to complete it to 
have a "commercial grade" one.


Here are our goals :

Finish this :

http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/GpeThingsTodo

Mail : sylpheeds UI to 240*320

+

Porting Gpe to use ALSA.

Porting Matchbox to use AIGLX .

Porting Gpe-mini-browser to use Webkit.

Mini-Totem with GStreamer Backend ( 320*240 ).

Using Kaffe as JVM



We believe that we will be able to speak of GPE 3.0. :) 

How many people/much time ( full-time developers) are/is needed to success in 
this enterprise ? 

What is the best background they need to have to work on this ? ( C, GTK , 
Linux ? )

( we need these informations for our partners ).

It's a million dollars project and the stuff will be released under GPL.


We look forward to your answer,

Best Regards,

				Will
