It would. The only problem is that they only allow 1000 (IIRC) API queries per day while we have 7000+ users to count karma for. This means we need to split the users we have into some kind of processing batches. Anyway, for the different ideas for collecting karma: the karma system in Midgard has a PHP plug-in API. I've already shown Ferenc how to do plug-ins but I will also make a doc about it soon so others can help us to expand the reach of the karma calculations. > Jesse Guardiani /Henri -- Henri Bergius Motorcycle Adventures and Free Software http://bergie.iki.fi/ Skype: henribergius Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jaiku: http://bergie.jaiku.com/ ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Currently it is showing a zero for my product karma [2]. 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.

Re: maemo wiki survey
Hi! We had some discussion with Ferenc about this thread last Friday and agreed that some of things should be addressed ASAP. This means that next week (probably Mon/Tue), I will make some changes to the wiki component, including at least capability of showing latest changes from all sub-wikis (namespaces). The wiki software already has a "latest changes" view, but this feature only shows the current wiki/namespace instead of all namespaces under it. When I do this change it will also happen in the "changes" RSS feed. I will also look at adding preview capability to the regular form-based editor. Then to your comments: On 7/5/07, Kees Jongenburger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > -The cms documentation is very poor(formating rules etc) > --how to create a toc etc > https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1590 The formatting is standard Markdown Extra with couple of wiki-specific tags added.

I think for example Midgard's own wiki is much nicer with its manually maintained front page: http://www.midgard-project.org/documentation/ As to other things people here have requested like for example anonymous editing, those are mostly questions of configuration and the decisions about them must be made by the Nokia folks. Personally I'd advice against anonymous editing however, as it creates quite big need to monitor and police the changes against abuse. Registration/login is not a big deal, and the resources that would be needed for keeping the wiki clean are most likely best used elsewhere. /Henri -- Henri Bergius Motorcycle Adventures and Free Software http://bergie.iki.fi/ Skype: henribergius Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jaiku: http://bergie.jaiku.com/ ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

In urban areas, or inside buildings, where GPS systems often fail, WiFi signals are a good alternative. Sounds interesting. This would be a very nice GeoClue backend. There are 2 possible approaches: -you can use the list of available MAC-addresses to find your position with a resolution of 10s of meters. This can be done by using an (open source) wardriving database like SkyHook's, or wigle.net's. This is also somewhat connected to MaemoPlazer which I'm working on. Currently it only uses your current WiFi access point, but multiple might be interesting too... http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/maemo_plazer_released.html -you can use the signalstrengths together with fingerprints taken on e.g. a university campus or a game hall and find the user's position with a resolution of 1-2 meters.

Even much better.
Good. :-)
Calling it a policy then.
Right, tell me if I went too far. :)
How the structure of the page could look like. (*) are mandatory.
I made a quick test with this on my local install, and I've attached
the schema that implements most of the things you wanted. This can be
easily added to the wiki on test.maemo.org by just a configuration
change.
See the editing view in http://www.nehmer.net/~bergie/maemo_wiki_edit_rfe.png
I made the person selection fields "searchable" so you can connect
Maemo garage users to the wiki pages more easily. Since they're linked
to the real contact records we have quite nice options for displaying
them.
- Related resources (URLs)
I'd just put these to the page content.
- Discussion (relevant links to mailing list posts and/or wiki-style
discussion here, not to mess with the previous fields).
Again, this could be in the content.
Another option we have here is that we could utilize tagging. Since
Maemo mailing list archives will be in Midgard a bit later it would be
easy to connect the email threads and wiki pages with each other: just
include the following in the end of your email body if you want to
connect your message with this particular RFE:
tags: "RFE/Position awareness"
This will be parsed by Midgard and stored as a local tag that enables
us to see the link both ways (link to wiki page from mailing list
archive, and link to email thread from the wiki page).
Also, it would be great if the web admins and the author of the page
could edit this additional field:
- Status (Wishlist, Planning, Alpha, Beta, Stable)
Added. Now it requires admin user. However, it would be easy to also
add a proper privilege for this so it could be enabled for users who
are not necessarily full admins.
What do you think?

Issues with bora's dbus-python
Hi, all!
I've been trying to make Maemo Plazer to function as a GeoClue
position backend. GeoClue is a DBUS-based system that applications can
use to get location information for the device. This can eventually be
used for bunch of interesting things like pulling local wikipedia
pages and populating them as Maemo Mapper POIs or whatever.
However, it seems that the version of dbus-python that is available
for bora is not fully compatible with Python 2.5 on the N800. This
means that I can't return multiple values from a DBUS service written
in Python as GeoClue would require.
From discussion on #dbus:
bergie: Exception exceptions.AttributeError: "'exceptions.TypeError'
object has no attribute '__module__'" in
'dbus_bindings._GIL_safe_cmessage_function_handler' ignored
smcv: that's the python 2.5 incompatibility
smcv: INdT either need to patch their version of pyrex with the python
2.5 compat patch from Fedora and rebuild d-p, or build d-p 0.80.2
instead
Here is some more detailed information about this...
If I return a single value from my method I get a correct response:
$ dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.plazes.maemoplazer
/com/plazes/maemoplazer
org.foinse_project.geoclue.position.current_position
method return sender=:1.318 -> dest=:1.319
double 60.1642
But with any other option, I get something else:
[double 60.2
double 24.5]
...or...
(dbus-monitor too dumb to decipher arg type 'r')
If I provide the method signature in the DBUS service decorator, I get
the dbus_bindings._GIL_safe_cmessage_function_handler error shown
above.
HostIP service (which is written in C) returns the right stuff:
$ dbus-send --print-reply
--dest=org.foinse_project.geoclue.position.hostip
/org/foinse_project/geoclue/position/hostip
org.foinse_project.geoclue.position.current_position
method return sender=:1.159 -> dest=:1.320
double 60.2167
double 24.6667
My current code is:
@dbus.service.method("org.foinse_project.geoclue.position",
in_signature='', out_signature='dd')
def current_position(self):
# FIXME: We have to somehow get dbus-python to return multiple
values here
return self.maemoplazer.lat, self.maemoplazer.lon
(https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/trunk/src/maemoplazer_service.py?root=maemoplazer&view=markup)
And the interface I'm trying to provide is:
(http://svn.foinse-project.org/geoclue/trunk/geoclue/position_glue.xml)
Now, would it be possible to get a fixed dbus-python package for bora?

GeoClue and Summer of Code
Hi, all!
I saw Quim's post about the Google Summer of Code on maemo-developers.
I wonder if GeoClue would be a fitting project there?
GeoClue is a DBUS-based positioning service layer for free desktops.
It can be used to add geographical awareness for applications, which
would fit a mobile device like Maemo perfectly.
Currently GeoClue is still in development stage, with some position
information backends like GPSD and "host IP" already working and
Plazes almost there.
The project would provide nice opportunities for students to work on:
* Integrating GeoClue positioning to various applications
- Maemo Mapper position source
- Switching timezones when you travel
- "Where are your friends" based on Jabber positioning extension
- Geotagging images or any other information produced on the device
* Building "geo widgets" to Maemo and GNOME
- Map widget displaying stuff on the map
- Location selection widget ("I'm now in central Helsinki")
* Aggregating location-based info to the Maemo device
- Wikipedia pages near you (the mobile travel guide scenario)
- Local news
- Weather
