Will "Qualiflyer" members join OW?
Like SN or TAP Air Portugal.
They have some cooperation with several OW Airlines.
Are they too small to join OW?
Or there is other reason let them couldn't join OW?

If by "Qualiflyer" you mean the Swiss Frequent Flyer programme (which was renamed to Swiss Travel Club some time ago) then it will be merged with the BA Executive Club.
See here, for example:

I don't see any reason why members of the Qualiflyer group would join/be merged into the Oneworld alliance. Currently OW has 5 members in Europe. I haven't even heard rumours (compare to the rumours that Gulf Air and Mexicana would join the alliance).
Many Qualiflyer members have left and established own programs or joined other alliances (Swiss, LOT). TAP doesn't indicate that their Navigator program would belong any longer to the Qualiflyer program.
It is true that many OW airlines codeshare with TAP and SN (f.ex. AY has codeshares with SN and TAP), and you can accrue miles between certain of the companies.

The biggest open question is the transfer ratio!

Qualiflyer remains the name as SWISS' frequent flyer programme only. The QUALIFLYER alliance has been disbanded when the new SWISS restructured last year.
