[SailfishDevel] Harbour rules and faq

[Andreas Enbacka]

Hello,

I also have to agree with Gabriel on this one, the polcies for Harbour 
need to be made much more clearer. At the moment it is not inspiring 
working of Sailfish development due to the store issues. I would expect 
that Jolla would indeed need as many developers as only possible 
onboard, and to aid that, the Harbour rules needs to be made clearer / 
substantially more relaxed. More native applications are indeed needed 
as the Android integration currently seems to be everything else than 
optimal.

Regards,
Andreas Enbacka
