Thanks for the links. I've started to play with
http://live.gnome.org/Hildon/HildonInputMethod, built it, installed and
GConf`ed, but it doesn't show up, I mean it does but looks just like
original keyboard and not anything like from the attachment there
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4178#c17. Basically I open the web
browser and click to the input filed to bring up the keyboard (Scratchbox +
Xephyr).

new idea: brainstorm, talk or what else?

[Andrea Borgia]

Hi, all.

I believe I have a rather nifty idea for a new app but I don't have the
capabilities required to develop it myself or, most importantly, the
time required to acquire them and code the app.

So, I'd like to describe it and pass it on to somebody looking for an
idea... question is, where and how?

1) on Brainstorm? It's not really a problem in search of a solution, I
have a clear picture of what it's supposed to do.

2) on Talk? This would allow for a wide participation, but again the
idea is fairly clear. Also, it's not even a "porting wish" so the wiki
is also out.

3) here in maemo-developers? Seems to be the best channel, is it acceptable?

Tnx,
Andrea.

PyQt is still available, and PySide status is not quite so "unclear"
as you may think.

Considering that it will take some time to develop your program in the
first place, Qt would still seem like the path of least resistance.
You can make it a normal PyQt program on desktop, do a quick
search/replace port to PySide and deploy on device. Or just use the
PyQt version on the device.

There was no announcement, because there was no maintenance break
planned. What happened was a bad mistake from me. I changed the
PosgreSQL config file to do some db migration stuff to the new server.
After copying the database I forgot to revert the config changes which
caused that the web site "went down".

I am very sorry for inconveniences it has caused.

Not being a lawyer, I did the only logical thing and asked other people who
were't lawyers either. Well, #gnu really since that was the place
where I supposed license nerds might congregate...

My impression is it isn't a legal issue technically (happy to be
corrected, not being a lawyer by any stretch of the imagination). But
in principle I would usually expect a license to accompany the
distribution of software I developed.

Whether I would consider it sufficient that it is in the .deb is
another matter.

I'm wondering maybe we could have a license package we could depend on and 
then just use a softlink or something similar ? A Depends: license-gpl (>=3.0) 
sounds simple enough to me and then the license is crystal clear and we don't 
have to duplicate the license for each package and the license package can 
provide all the legalese. It would also simplify checking/verifying proper 
licensing in the autobuilder. Just a thought.

Re: docs and optification

[Mustali Dalal]

Purging copyright files does not seem right; they are tiny and have legal
bearing.

Since a lot, if not all, apps currently in testing use GPL or other FOSS
license, I would guess there be good reasons to keep the copyright file
installed with the package. Would there be license violation if a copyright
file is not installed with the package?

or is this a non-issue for developers?

Re: which toolkit/framework is best for Game UI

[Martin Grimme]

Hi Keywan,

The SVN repo on garage is not down.

svn checkout https://garage.maemo.org/svn/fmradio

or

svn checkout https://garage.maemo.org/svn/mediabox

FM radio might be easier to get the idea of how to use the framework
because it's a lot less code than MediaBox. If you need help, just ask
me. :)

Re: which toolkit/framework is best for Game UI

[Keywan Najafi Tonekaboni]

Hi,

> Maybe have a look at Clutter.  http://www.clutter-project.org/

thanks for the hint. clutter really looks promising. we tried an
example, which worked in pyclutter 1.0, but it didn't work in pyclutter
0.8 in scratchbox. also documentation seems to be scarce goods  

We will go through this
http://tuxradar.com/content/clutter-beginners-tutorial

Is there any further information, in particular for maemo(5)? 

Thanks,

Keywan

where can I get more information about mediabox. garage is still down
(projectpage) and I couldn't find a reference.

Thanks,

Simple javascript application on maemo

[ds]

Hi,

I wonder if there is prefered way to install a simple javascript
application to maemo.

I only want to start a html page containing javascript in fullscreen
mode and have a nice shortcut for the application.

Is there any example?

Thanks a lot

Detlef

Re: ping time between N810 and N900

[Kai Thomsen]

Frank,

I can confirm that. 
100 pings to my Wifi router with the N810 result in min/avg/max
2.6/19.9/49.1 ms
100 pings from the N900: min/avg/max 16.815/47.045/91.858 ms

I'm not really familiar with Gobject, so I haven't made a new wiget.
But it was very helpful to have that code!  My application doesn't use
full screen, so I just modified it so that the overlay shows up all
the time.  I had to adjust the positioning and that was about it.

Thanks!

Re: which toolkit/framework is best for Game UI

[Martin Grimme]

If you're just displaying points, positions, and simple animations,
then Gtk or Qt should be OK. Qt is the future of Maemo, anyway.

You might also consider taking a look at the Python UI framework that
is currently used by MediaBox and FM Radio. It's based on low-level
Gdk but has all the work done needed for widgets and simple 2D
animations. On the other hand, it's work in progress without a stable
API.
As a bonus, your animations will work on N8x0 and maybe even the 770, too.
