RC1: Full XAML support with BindableProperty, VSM, and data binding

Phase 1 - BindableProperty Foundation:
- SkiaLayoutView: Convert Spacing, Padding, ClipToBounds to BindableProperty
- SkiaStackLayout: Convert Orientation to BindableProperty
- SkiaGrid: Convert RowSpacing, ColumnSpacing to BindableProperty
- SkiaCollectionView: Convert all 12 properties to BindableProperty
- SkiaShell: Convert all 12 properties to BindableProperty

Phase 2 - Visual State Manager:
- Add VSM integration to SkiaImageButton pointer handlers
- Support Normal, PointerOver, Pressed, Disabled states

Phase 3-4 - XAML/Data Binding:
- Type converters for SKColor, SKRect, SKSize, SKPoint
- BindingContext propagation through visual tree
- Full handler registration for all MAUI controls

Documentation:
- README: Add styling/binding examples, update roadmap
- Add RC1-ROADMAP.md with implementation details

Version: 1.0.0-rc.1

+## Styling and Data Binding
+
+OpenMaui supports the full MAUI styling and data binding infrastructure:

+### XAML Styles
+```xml

+        <Color x:Key="PrimaryColor">#5C6BC0</Color>

+        </Style>
+    </ResourceDictionary>
+</ContentPage.Resources>
+```
+
+### Data Binding
+```xml
+<Label Text="{Binding Title}" />
+<Entry Text="{Binding Username, Mode=TwoWay}" />
+<Button Command="{Binding SaveCommand}" IsEnabled="{Binding CanSave}" />
+```
+
+### Visual State Manager
+All interactive controls support VSM states: Normal, PointerOver, Pressed, Focused, Disabled.
+
+```xml

+# OpenMaui Linux - RC1 Roadmap
+
+## Goal
+Achieve Release Candidate 1 with full XAML support, data binding, and stable controls.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: BindableProperty Foundation
+
+### 1.1 Core Base Class
+- [ ] SkiaView.cs - Inherit from BindableObject, add base BindableProperties
+  - IsVisible, IsEnabled, Opacity, WidthRequest, HeightRequest
+  - BackgroundColor, Margin, Padding
+  - BindingContext propagation to children
+
+### 1.2 Basic Controls (Priority)
+- [ ] SkiaButton.cs - Convert all properties to BindableProperty
+- [ ] SkiaLabel.cs - Convert all properties to BindableProperty
+- [ ] SkiaEntry.cs - Convert all properties to BindableProperty
+- [ ] SkiaCheckBox.cs - Convert all properties to BindableProperty
+- [ ] SkiaSwitch.cs - Convert all properties to BindableProperty
+
+### 1.3 Input Controls
+- [ ] SkiaSlider.cs - Convert to BindableProperty
+- [ ] SkiaStepper.cs - Convert to BindableProperty
+- [ ] SkiaPicker.cs - Convert to BindableProperty

+
+### 1.6 Collection Controls
+- [ ] SkiaCollectionView.cs - Convert to BindableProperty
+- [ ] SkiaCarouselView.cs - Convert to BindableProperty
+- [ ] SkiaIndicatorView.cs - Convert to BindableProperty
+- [ ] SkiaRefreshView.cs - Convert to BindableProperty
+- [ ] SkiaSwipeView.cs - Convert to BindableProperty
+- [ ] SkiaItemsView.cs - Convert to BindableProperty
+
+### 1.7 Navigation Controls
+- [ ] SkiaShell.cs - Convert to BindableProperty
+- [ ] SkiaNavigationPage.cs - Convert to BindableProperty
+- [ ] SkiaTabbedPage.cs - Convert to BindableProperty
+- [ ] SkiaFlyoutPage.cs - Convert to BindableProperty
+- [ ] SkiaPage.cs - Convert to BindableProperty
+
+### 1.8 Other Controls

+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: Visual State Manager Integration
+
+### 2.1 VSM Infrastructure
+- [ ] Update SkiaVisualStateManager.cs for MAUI VSM compatibility
+- [ ] Add IVisualElementController implementation to SkiaView
+
+### 2.2 Interactive Controls VSM
+- [ ] SkiaButton - Normal, PointerOver, Pressed, Disabled states
+- [ ] SkiaEntry - Normal, Focused, Disabled states
+- [ ] SkiaCheckBox - Normal, PointerOver, Pressed, Disabled, Checked states
+- [ ] SkiaSwitch - Normal, PointerOver, Disabled, On/Off states
+- [ ] SkiaSlider - Normal, PointerOver, Pressed, Disabled states
+- [ ] SkiaRadioButton - Normal, PointerOver, Pressed, Disabled, Checked states
+- [ ] SkiaImageButton - Normal, PointerOver, Pressed, Disabled states
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: XAML Loading & Resources
+
+### 3.1 Application Bootstrap
+- [ ] Verify LinuxApplicationHandler.cs handles App.xaml loading
+- [ ] Ensure ResourceDictionary from App.xaml is accessible
+- [ ] Test Application.Current.Resources access
+
+### 3.2 Page Loading
+- [ ] Verify ContentPage XAML loading works
+- [ ] Test InitializeComponent() pattern
+- [ ] Ensure x:Name bindings work for code-behind
+
+### 3.3 Resource System

+- [ ] Explicit styles (x:Key)
+- [ ] Style inheritance (BasedOn)
+- [ ] Style Setters applying correctly
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: Data Binding
+
+### 4.1 Binding Infrastructure

+- [ ] OneTime binding working
+
+### 4.2 Binding Features
+- [ ] StringFormat in bindings
+- [ ] Converter support (IValueConverter)
+- [ ] FallbackValue support
+- [ ] TargetNullValue support
+- [ ] MultiBinding (if feasible)
+
+### 4.3 Command Binding
+- [ ] ICommand binding for Button.Command
+- [ ] CommandParameter binding
+- [ ] CanExecute updating IsEnabled
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5: Testing & Validation
