Maemo Talk Forum App

We had a very good app for our Maemo Talk Forum, created by ph5, who had done an amazing job in carrying out such a huge task, that too, for free. Unfortunately, some minor bugs and usability issues hampered daily use of this app, and the app deserved some maintenance.

Carrying over from Philipp Zabel's earlier works ,
I have taken up the development of this app, and regularly updating and improving it. 

The repository is on github https://github.com/anandbibek/forum-qml-new

The main thread is on maemo talk forum at http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=88475

I have been working on this since December 2012. And the app is currently in a stable and much improved state.
