Hello all, (Some of you may know me from my previous openmoko address : char...@openmoko.org)
Since I don't work for openmoko anymore, and since I had some free time in my hands recently, I restarted the tichy project (previously hosted on openmoko public git) The project is now hosted on google code [0]. From the web site we can see some screenshots. For the history, tichy is the project that was used as the base for the paroli project [1], officially supported by openmoko. Both projects are python frameworks to write applets for openmoko phones. I decide to restart tichy because in my opinion paroli has forked too much, and now both projects are having very different goals. So why I think people should give tichy a try : * It can run on debian, SHR, and FSO (even thouhg there is currently a problem with the installation on FSO) * it is using the Dbus framework for all the phone applets. * It is very simple to modify it, almost everything is written in python, with some small parts in cython. * It can run on the desktop as well. * There is a release (1.0.0) [2] The first release 1.0.0 [2] contains the source package, a debian packages, and an ipkg package that can be installed on SHR (should also work on FSO, but I see that python-pygame package is currently missing from the FSO feeds.) I will keep working on the project if I think there are interested people. I don't know how much time I will allocate to this, so I can make no statement about plans or future releases. Of course contributions are welcomes. I have to admit I didn't test it so much (I personally only use it for the chinese learning and dictionary applets), if people experience any problems, please let me know and I'll make a bug fix release. I would also be interested to know if the SHR, debian, or FSO people are interested for a collaboration to add tichy in there distributions.
