There are some very exciting plans, but I am a bit sceptical about these two:
(*) - I don't think it's wise to go the Flattr way, as it will probably mean no cut for Jolla from running the store.
(**) - I hoped split screen view within an app would be ready for the tablet launch, as it is the only imaginable way how to seamlessly adapt phone apps to the tablet form (attached page on phone, visible on tablet).

Enjoy the reading

PS: I hate making new threads, but I couldn't find any appropriate thread for such an long-time info (no "update 11/12/13..." thread would do).

Please, don't use it. If this doesn't convince you, read more here.
The worst thing is even if you don't use it, it takes one ***** who does and has your number in his/her contacts and your number is uploaded to servers of this insane company for 'anyone interested' to read.
Thumbs up for everyone supporting WhatsApp on Maemo. NOT

Reason: As skanky pointed out, the time seems to be the start of the work, instead of the end. Therefore the complain about delays removed.

wow, what a surprise. as the author of this post (2010!) it sure is nice to hear about those plans! if it's implemented, i'll definitely continue with flattr - which at the same time is to say, unfortunately i haven't been using it for some time.

It's possible they have done a deal with Flattr to get a cut of the donations made through Harbour. However it is also in their best interest to build their developer base, and this helps do that even without them leeching on the transactions.

I'm sure all will be revealed once it goes live, as the terms for developers will need to be clearly stated.

I also added the page to the Archive.org wayback machine, so we can follow the progress and easily see what has changed from the last time (the next time it changes anyway).

EDIT: Edited the first post accordingly.
Shout-out to everyone: Please save the page on the Wayback machine again once you notice any changes.

I hope Jolla will not want a split of the donations, though, that would not be very "unlike".

1) Can we please stop using this hashtag. It's embarassing.

2) How can it possibly ever hope to be a sustainable model if Jolla don't take a cut? I'd be very worried if they didn't take a cut. It'd pretty much be signalling that they don't expect active Sailfish users or app development to grow at any time in the forseeable future, and therefore any revenue from it would be useless; a tacit admission of defeat. Most developers who might be willing to test the waters would see it as a very bad sign. Besides, what reason would Jolla ever have to help, facilitate or support Sailfish ports to Android phones if they're never going to make a cent from it?

3) Implementing Flattr support (or similar systems) is insanely easy. Like some of the other features on the roadmap, how did this not happen sooner?

That would be cool. I have a Rocki UPNP renderer, it would be nice to be able to play music from the phone on the Rocki.

I've managed this on Ubuntu using pulseaudio-dlna and it works really well. Even more useful on a handheld device though. I'm sure it's already possible, but having it integrated nicely into the system would be ideal.
