Henri,

my maemo address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I also have an bugzilla account with that 
address. But I reported bugs with [EMAIL PROTECTED] (not sure why 
any more). No I cannot change my [EMAIL PROTECTED] address to my 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] maemo address.

Do you have any suggestion what to do?

Thanks,
Rainer

Quim, this is why karma systems are a bad idea. I'm sure that Tim was
joking, but as soon as people start even thinking about how their
actions affect their karma, rather than doing what makes sense, the
karma system has negatively affected the project and community.

I'm trying to work out if it's a problem when your most used
applications aren't actually on the tablet itself, so definitely don't
appear in the Application Catalog.

In this circumstance, I could move svn from my own Subversion server
to garage (I *am* thinking of creating a "Media Utils" project hosting
mediaserv and a renamed 770-encode), and that this would "help" my
karma (amongst the other benefits it'd get, like being patch tracking
etc.)

Otherwise I'm "stuck" with doing what I'm doing now, which is earning
karma through blog posts which get favourited - which might well be
fine.

Indeed. I suppose the *real* question that nobody has asked yet, is
how much is the karma going to weigh in on device programmes, both
current and future?

Prestige and ego are fine things, but we all like cheap, shiny, new gadgets ;-)

I imagine it'd be trivally possible to extract post count from ITT -
suitably weighted within the karma system for the lack of any quality
metric on those posts.

Andrew

Thanks Martin,
thanks to everyone.

I did it, finally I did TVersity streaming video/audio files mp3/avi to Nokia 
maemo.
Tried hard to setup static IP from terminal
but both Opera web browser and Media Streamer on Nokia tried to establish
a new network connection, closing already established ad-hoc wireless network,
connecting with local-IP network address.

Finally I did it.
Thanks for your kind help.
It took me 48 full non-stop work hours

if you mean ap as access point

ap-free
It already works if I assign static IP addresses both on Nokia and PC running 
TVersity server.
Unfortunately I can't Opera web browser or Media Streamer as each one saves 
established ad-hoc wireless network 
invoking maemo network connection utility
hanging maemo up , crashing and rebooting it.

As I see neither Opera web browser not Media Streamer can connect to TVersity 
over the already established ad-hoc network. 
TVersity can be run locally on PC as http://localhost:41952/.
So the problem is not very complicated but how can I force networked 
applications like Opera web browser or Media Streamer not to invoke maemo 
network connection utility and use the established ad-hoc wireless. 
I set both IP addresses as static and SMP monitor can read maemo IP address.

Pls remember hardware configuration.
No access  point, no router. Peer-to-peer ad-hoc wireless network only.
No DHCP assigned IP addresses, static IP addresses only.

Any chance to have it working one day ?

Thanks.

There seems to be a cache issue in maemo.org profile management. 

I've tried to change email I used for my maemo account to the one I
already use for bugzilla and mailing list. I did the change on
maemo.org, it looks ok in the profile. But if I check back some hours
later, change seems to have been dropped.

Ok my bad cheating should not have been #1. As we are not in a competition, it 
really doesn't matter, and I fear this clouded my point a bit. 

Premise: The Karma system is intended to give a bit of prestige to people who 
contirbute. Basically karma systems use ego to persue the common good, in 
this case more maemo content. 

When applied to the wiki it means that it is better* to create new pages then 
update another page. The worst thing you can do in a wiki is create a page 
that is almost like another. No one knows which is right or wrong or new or 
old. Wiki's tend to becomes very cluttered very quickly. 

I understand the huge compute power to compute karma based on edits. I also 
understand the desire to hang the karma carrot in front of the wiki, but  I 
feel that wiki karma will do the opposite as its intent. I think it will 
begin to dilute the qualitry of the wiki.


That said. It does not solve world peace so I won't waste much bandwidth. I 
rellay appreciae all the efforts Qim and Nokia have put into this communtity. 

Thanks
Brian

The problem is this: in the product page it says "Submitted by
", meaning that you're not marked as the application author in
the database.

I've now marked you as the author, so karma should come by tomorrow morning.

If you are author of an application in the app catalog but not marked
as such, go to the app page and click "edit metadata", and add
yourself as the author.

Quality check in Garage news

2007-11-02 Thread Quim Gil
Lately we haven't been checking much the quality of the Garage news
before approving them to the Garage frontpage (and the maemo.org home as
well). The Social News filtering and the plan to have only the best news
hitting the home gave us this flexibility. And there were not much
garage news anyway, and the level was ok as an average.

This is changing, though, and we are seeing more Garage news with a
lower average quality. I'm talking about one sentence news, flagrant
misspellings, irc-like language, total lack of context and other things
that for some reason the average blog poster takes care of, even if
flexibly.

All this to say that we are going to be tougher now approving news even
for the Garage homepage, and this will filter them to not appear in
http://maemo.org/news either, so no favs, no maemo.org home (as soon as
the new home is in place). 

If you are unhappy about this you only need to put some more love in
your Garage news. We are not asking for Pulitzer articles either.  ;)
