Hi,
None of things you listed are developer tools (debuggers etc).
They are applications or application features.

We are currently thinking what kind of tools and utilities would be the
most useful
for ARM based Maemo developers. Idea is that we would host some basic
tools and
utilities from common repository and hopefully when new platform version
comes
these tools work ASAP and fun can start immediately. So please tell what
kind
of tools you are using or wishing and why ?

Many thanks for asking,
I will like to request, following (some in progress) for N800 in stable
versions:
1. Newer Pan news-reader port, Pan 0.12x
http://pan.rebelbase.com/
(one available is a currently (older) non-maintained port of Pan
2. Elinks, text web browser
- text based browsers are best friends at times.
3. Epiphany, Firefox & GNOME based web browser since minimo seems out of
maintenance for now.
- basic reason is for the choice of an alternative browser
4. tin - text news-reader
- Pan port might take some time,
5. Phone addressbook/sms/dial sync tool, maybe - gnokii
- none available as of now.
6. GAIM instant messenger
- there are more chat protocols to support
7. Snapshot/Video application
- none available as of now.
8. Multisync/Opensync support
- maybe a Nokia suit for Windows based on Opensync framework would be a
nice effort for future cross platform compatibility and help to Opensync
cross platform development. Nokia & their users should benefit all the way
and while that Linux desktop users have hopes for making sure their Nokia
770/n800 devices can sync.
9. Plucker support
- FBreader is there but perhaps Plucker for Palm is the best, if its
possible to re-write plucker for Linux/n800 that will be the best, else FB
reader has lot to improve yet.
- Oddly enough sunrisexp works better for plucking documents from web,
then plucker-desktop (just to mention)
- Perhaps still adding a functionality to quickly pluck document for later
off-line reading is a nice feature app to suggest, that should add value
to these devices and saves users on airtime + battery consumption
10. B/W mode for ebook mode if at-all possible with the hardware.
- good for reading long web-pages & plucker/e-books, saves battery & eye
sight of user.
11. Integrated device data encryption options & self destruction of
data upon brute-force attempts, like on Palms
12. Revelation or gnome-keyring encrypted password data management
I hope you'll find these useful.
