It was (is) public, but it is outdated and will probably be done 
completely different.

Is there GEIS 2.0 and GRAIL ready for being used / being connected to Qt?

Once we really start the integration we will definitely create a proper 
mapping. For QML nevertheless some custom code might be necessary,
since our own GestureArea didn't make it into Qt itself. - Some of our 
people think it is too generic and don't want to export the whole 
gesture framework to QML.
But this is not a big problem, since we already proofed that it is 
possible and it can be done as a plugin. - We just have to keep talking 
to each other. ;-)
