I think I've read that with EO you define the object in an .eo file and then you can generate code for those objects (like project eolian), so it could be a good thing to create all or part of the vala bindings automatically from those files.<br>

</div>In Debian, E17 has tablet/smarphone modes. GNOME3 can also be used in<br>
keyboard-free mode but it wasn't developed with tablets in mind so<br>
there are some issues that are slowly being ironed out in more recent<br>
versions. Outside Debian there is lots of software from other<br>
distributions that could be packaged (KDE Plasma Active comes<br>
immediately to mind).<br>
