XMir, PySide, Qt Quick Controls ?

 

Hi, it is my 1st participation here. I've made some blog articles about Ubuntu Touch to help promote it : - http://translate.google.com.br/translate?sl=pt&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=pt-BR&ie=UTF-8&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Frobertocolistete.wordpress.com%2F2013%2F05%2F26%2Fubuntu-touch-no-nexus-4-instalando-e-testando%2F - http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=pt-BR&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com.br&sl=pt-BR&tl=en&u=http://robertocolistete.wordpress.com/2013/01/07/ubuntu-phone-os-ponto-de-vista-de-usuario-e-programador/&usg=ALkJrhjN35n84-9LxpOQShY8U21I8xJYfA

    Some doubts about Ubuntu Touch :

1) will XMir be available for smartphones/tablets ? In v14.04 ? So X11, Qt4, GTK, softwares will run ?

2) will Canonical help the PySide community to release PySide for Qt 5/Qt Quick 2 ? Currently we can't develop softwares with GUI in Python for Ubuntu Touch (replacing C/C++) because there is no binding to Qt5/Qt Quick 2. I think the Python community is very large on Ubuntu development and Python is ideal for not-so-simple softwares where QML lacks the power, libraries, etc. For example, I'm waiting full Python support on Ubuntu Touch to port some scientific softwares using Python modules SymPy, NumPy, MatPlotLib, and Uncertainties;

3) when Ubuntu Touch will start using Qt 5.1 ?

4) will Ubuntu Qt Components expected to merge with Qt Quick Controls of Qt 5.2 ?
