Secondly my comment was directed to delphidb96 not to you so if you take offense make sure people are talking to you first.
And yes I know the difference between a WM and graphical tool kits. But your conversions are also talking about window managers as well.

Yes, I think dottedmag understands that about the windows manager.
You have to understand that dottedmag is far more involved with the actual development than I am. I got involved simply because I have both a Cybook and an EB-100 and I wanted to see if they were hardware identical - they are. I'm, at this point, more of a rah-rah-rah cheerleader than a hard-core programmer on the OI project. I hope to become more involved in the programming end.
But you have to remember that much of this has been debated, ad nauseum, over at OI and the progress has reached the point where to re-open the debate would entail backing-down from much of what is already working on the V3. And given the wide range of backgrounds, I'm sure the initial debates over what to use were occasionally quite acrimonius.
So, if you would rather use QTopia or BlackBox, then please feel free to snag a V3, the OI source as it stands, and start developing an alternative graphical tool kit and window manager. As OI is open-source, I'm sure there will be others who will gladly embrace your work.
