Different GSoC organisations approach differently but most of them have only been hinting towards actual welcomed projects, not mandating them. If you think about future and want to explore Google integration/syncing, I'd personally would be interesting on seeing something that allows to sync both ways statuses of read/unread messages and subscriptions in Google Reader with Maemo Feeds Ontology (mfo) in Tracker master branch. That would be awesome. :) -- / Alexander Bokovoy ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Maemo 5 uses Tracker 0.6 to consolidate most of metadata of files indexed already. Harmattan (Maemo 6) is extensively using current Tracker master branch and utilizing SparQL language as its query mechanism. Tracker master (0.7.x) and Tracker 0.6 use different storage backend and query mechanisms, it is quite a big difference, and it seems most of non-file based data is going to be indexed as well, according to the ontologies being developed. You can find current maemo-specific modifications of Tracker at http://maemo.gitorious.org/tracker/, these are synced well with Tracker master at gnome.org. If you want to develop something useful for Maemo 5 and 6 indexing, it would logically be good to at least learn what is happening in this area already and co-operate with existing code running on the device. -- / Alexander Bokovoy ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Qt packaging now is managed by Qt team and this will be first official Qt-supported version of Qt to Maemo platform. So many two-letter acronyms in one sentence... Anyway, this is a bit different from desktop case as package maintainers are changed for Qt delivery (from community volunteers to Nokia Trolls) and apparently the way to package is changed as well. I have not compared it with the Debian or other distributions' builds though. Whatever is included in Qt build for Maemo is maintained by Trolltech team. This should leave questions regarding the compatibility answered, I hope. And actual source code is in qt.gitorious.org. -- / Alexander Bokovoy ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

What part of Sharing do you need to interface with? UI to cause sharing or backend which sends data to a service? Once N900 will be released, there will be an API to write plugins for sharing subsystem. The API is not published yet in existing SDK releases. -- / Alexander Bokovoy ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

There are two ways to get CIFS file operations working on a GNU/Linux system and they aren't replacement to each other. Rather, they should be used together to provide better experience. First, if you would need to get access to files outside a device for once (download file and do whatever is needed locally), use of libsmbclient/smbclient itself is preferred. If your application actually needs to work with remote files "in-place", then using CIFS kernel module is the only option as it provides rich semantics including proper locking and attributes handling. However, CIFS is much larger than just file operations. There are also options to integrate with existing local networks on authentication/authorization front. There is certainly a benefit from ability to use a device in corporate environment where network access might depend on being able to log-in into existing Active Directory or NT domains infrastructure (I have been into many clients' networks where Internet access is done through proxies which allow only domain logged-in users to pass through). There are also notification abilities, automatic system configuration propagation (what is allowed and what-not), printing, address book look-up where you'd have to log-in into AD/Domain before using LDAP services and so on. Even proper use of mail/collaboration facilities of Exchange servers require good deal of CIFS as shown by OpenChange project. CIFS support is much bigger task than just GIO/FUSE integration. The question I still have is where Maemo devices would like to be in next several years. So far integration with "enterprise" was not even in plans. Personally, I can't even use 770-n800-n810 in my work environment because it lacks enterprise Wifi options that big corporations use. But that's a different story. -- / Alexander Bokovoy ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
