What do you think. The wiki (both old MoinMoin and the new Midgard Wiki) supports namespaces, so we can collect them under "RFE", so RFE/PositionAwareness, RFE/Java etc. By the way, the new wiki does not require us to use CamelCase, so page names can be also just RFE/Position awareness. Traditional wiki templates are not supported by Midgard Wiki, but instead we can have schemas that provide different editing fields for different things. If you add a list of what data you'd like to collect per each RFE I can make a schema for it.

What about sanitizing http://test.maemo.org/community/wiki/improvementideas/ (meaning cleaning what is outdated and adding to wishlist the rest in own wiki pages per feature) and creating new wiki pàges for new features added in roadmap or wishlist? These pages could have a common syntax in order to identify them better i.e. PositionAwarenessRFE, JavaRFE, WhateverRFE. Perhaps a defauilt template would help creators of new pages. What do you think. It will be up to the maintainers/pushers of each feature to add background information, contacts details and more. An optional plug-in, not a requirement and definitely not the responsibility of the roadmap maintainers. :) Features requested providing a full rationale in a wiki page would have more points to go to the roadmap, although it wouldn't be a requirement, nor a guarantee. > BTW, would be great to get something about position awareness into the > roadmap.

The request makes sense so I can already tell you that it will end up at least as wishlist. -- Quim Gil - http://maemo.org ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Re: GeoClue and Summer of Code
Good! This is a great example of how to gather ideas and suggest mentors. Pity that we only have got one suggestion this weekend (plus two we had in the past days). I don't think it's worth to apply with this limited set of ideas and mentors. Let's wait a bit more, but the time is running and we need to send everything this week. By the way, Google says there is no problem for maemo to apply directly even without having legal status per se. This is good news since we can then avoid the hardcoded dependency to Nokia and its accountants.

Is this considered a security risk? Can you elaborate, with an example maybe? Catalogues are replaced as one unit and the user can review the details of the new dialog when it is added (except in the card_install interaction flow). Hello I am just worried.

Re: Device Soft Reset + App autostart
Frantisek, thanks for the tip. I assume that the disabled by default condition is so users do not accidently reboot their device by "trippiing" on the icon.

Re: N800 and USB host mode
Hi all I actually sent out an email last night asking a similar question: Hi everyone, I've read a number of emails and forum posts that talk about using the usb to connect peripherals. I used the flasher to enable R&D mode and USB host mode and there are no errors. But when I reboot and connect a keyboard through my power booster I made, it still thinks it is just connected to a computer. Does the USB only work on the 770 or do I need to do something to the kernel to get it working or do I need to do anything else to get it working. I have a number of things I want to use the USB port for, I just want to get the keyboard working so I know the port is working. I am hoping to get my USB GPS working with one of the mapping programs and I also want to use it to interface with a real time system I've made that would connect through a USB to serial adapter. But first I just want to get a keyboard working to get through the biggest road block I see. Thank you for any help. If this has been discussed before I would appreciate anyone who can point me to the discussion. I spent most of yesterday trying to get just a keyboard working after building a power injector. So to the original question yes I have played with it on the n800 but I had no luck. I really hope we can figure this out. I think it will add a number of opportunities to the device.

Re: N800 and USB host mode
Andreas Hubel wrote: Perhaps, you don't need USB as the Nokia 770 and N800 each have an speaker and microphone. Okay the microphone at 770 has no jack, but as far as i now at N800, but you could also use a bluetooth headset to get a line in ;-) Bluetooth compresses the audio, destroying the phase relationships upon which the data is encoded - so Bluetooth in would not work. While one could theoretically use the N800 headphone jack to interface to the radio, you would then have to be ABSOLUTELY certain that nothing other than the GMFSK program were generating audio. And as serial device you could use the serial port at the backside pins of the device, at least for n700 the pin layout is public. And you then have to remove the back of the unit, kludge up the serial interface... Not exactly what I am after. What I want is a simple package, not a Rube Goldberg device. Additionally, eventually it would be nice to use one of the OFDM high-bitrate modems for HF and the Speex vocoder to do digital voice over HF - which requires both audio I/O to the radio AND audio I/O to the user. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Yes, I know that this won't work without a modified USB hub to inject +5V onto the USB port. The reason I ask is that I was planning on trying to port a program over, and I'd really like to have USB host mode support for the program (GMFSK, a program for amateur radio operators to do digital signaling over HF, and I really need both an extra USB audio device and a USB serial device to get the maximum benefit out of the program.) At first glance, it looks like building the kernel with the OMAP OTG support might just work, but I was curious is anybody else had tried this. ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Powered usb hub is not hard to find. What exact file or files should be changed by the hand to make equivalent to flasher in enabling usb host mode? Cannot say for 800 since I don't have it, but two gadgets look different in a lot of details. Do I have a correct feeling that 800 cannot be powered down at all?
