Linux touchpad like a Macbook: progress and a call for help!

Define the goal:

To create a touchpad solution for Linux that serves as many users as possible, we want to be maximally objective in describing what we aim to deliver.

The current preferred plan forward:

1) to fork libinput (overview doc, contributor docs, source), and

2) find up to three developers dedicated to making a measurably better driver.

Email reply from Intex was sadly thus: "Intex Aqua Fish is a discontinued model. No software upgrade is available for the handset."

@fasnix

Hmm, my old but trusty Jolla 1 got the update right away. It is from 2013 and Jolla still supports it!

Intex Aquafish is not that far off in age... Maybe there is a solution though. Let's look around.
