Did you manage to get to the round-table event? - we spent a fair bit of time talking about APIs there; we also openly discussed the issues we face. I know that the community people there wanted to continue the discussion. > What does a developer need to write quality apps?

A quick response: we support the Qt API and rather than developing our own proprietary one we're working hard to support the open one as it grows. The Qt documentation is extensive and superb :) Using it in Sailfish Silica apps is less well documented but is improving (and honestly is mainly a tutorial issue for new developers - not an API docs issue). Yes there are some APIs in the mobile space that are not part of the Qt release yet - Qt 5.2 will introduce more.
