Please note the "which i want to fix" ;-) I am not planning to fix all bugs - 
that is impossible for one person.

You can check how many people work e.g. on Android - which is comparable 
project:

http://www.ohloh.net/p/android

Still i think QtMoko is better in many areas over android.

I believe this is because of finxi theme has always visible the keyboard 
button. I dont see this problem in mokofaen (new deault theme for v48).

The keyboard plugins should receive keyboard layout hint - but the new svg 
keyboard is just very basic and does not handle the hint. It should be very 
easy draw layouts with numbers only and display upon the hint.
