[Carlos Jose Mazieri <carlos.mazieri@xxxxxxxxx>]

For things that are not available from QML, I think Ubuntu team would
provide a common interface for most required stuff people need to use
in QML, like Qt provides static functions through Qt.<function>,
Ubuntu would provide among others:

  QString  Ubuntu.homePath()
  QString  Ubuntu.getEnv( QString var )
  QString  Ubuntu.readFileContent(QString filename)
  bool       Ubuntu.createFileFromContent(QString filename, QString content)


Regards,
Carlos
