Unity Greeter in Qml
A demo greeter is being used in the phablet image right now. Long term plan is to make that fully featured and at some point use it on the desktop too.
There's a way to go between here and there though.

OOBE spec touching on greeter, infographic, launcher, pin entry
https:/
Open design questions:
* Which favorite items go on launcher, and do they indicate running apps?
- Launcher items will be the same whether the phone is unlocked or locked. There is no concept of running apps on the phone. The launcher will display favourite apps, and the top 5 or 10 (no. to be determined) recent apps.
* When we get called on the phone and we're in the greeter, how does that look?
- Looks the same as when in phone; this is most common use case after all
* When we get called on tablet(?) and we're in the greeter, which user's contacts get used?
- Whichever user is selected
* When we get called on the phone and we've never logged in, do we do anything?
- If locked/encrypted, can't show info, but that's OK
- If not locked, a delay is acceptable, but we should be able to show info (maybe log user in on bootup or upon call)
* How do we avoid pocket swiping (indicators, log in)?
- Design doesn't think it's an issue
* Does home page change over time (for screenshots)?
- Yes, it does change over time. After conversation at sprint, not an issue for screenshots
