[Qt-qml] Public place to share QML components?

[simon.turvey at nokia.com]

It was my understanding (and perhaps someone working on qt-components can clarify) that the underlying architectural model renders this a non-issue.

You can always stick a new 'presentation layer' on the component if you don't like the default 'chunky for poking with a finger' style.

I would also like to avoid overly  handset / finger touchable  focused component models.  It would be great if the philosophy going into Qt components is such that they are flexible enough for use on set-top/netbook/desktop deployments as well.

Thanks,

Sean

It seems essential to me that a language designed for such rich visual expression should have a visual element to the public library. I would love to be able to browse a catalogue of contributed QML components. Maybe then I wouldn't have to have written that darn slot machine spinner from scratch!
