That is correct. The team started with slimming down FC5 (it is REALLY
slimmed down, it doesn't look much like FC5 anymore) and the next step

For example Sugar, mesh networking apps, ebook readers, personal wiki, etc.

At the end, the best we can say is "based on FC5", but will be
considerably different
