Hi Ben,

I had published a complete SDK including graphical SDK, cross compiler,
Opie X86 and Opie ARM, Python Qt Bindings for ARM and X86 and KDevelop3
as IDE. It had eight templates (from application to all sorts of  
plugins). Each
template was well documented - at least I thought it was. And you  
could easily
test and compile your application from the IDE. Also creating  
packages was
possible.


But the interest was too low to continue working on it, not even  
Trolltech was
interested in the work. You can find the old stuff at ftp:// 
ftp.handhelds.org/people/zecke
have fun with it... I still wonder why Trolltech is not interested in  
having a IDE
for Qtopia...

kind regards
	h.

PS: I thought it was cool and would bring app developers to Qtopia  
and Opie
         besides many, many, many downloads the feedback was low...
