There are plans for web browsers, gps plugins, etc. Just explaining a little bit further, we've been contacted by students who wish to develop plugins for not only these things I mentioned, but also for others such as PIM related and etc. One thing I've tried to ask people who are trying to work on GSoC with Canola is to try to think how they would actually use that feature, draw some mock-ups, think if it's really necessary. I'm not saying that people should develop anything in Canola just because it's possible, but if they think it's useful and they want to do it, go for it. The platform is open (now with source code as well). I personally don't use twitter, I've always thought it was an awful way of keeping up with other people or whatever it is it's supposed to do, but after I found out about twitpic, I gotta say I thought it might be really cool to use it, specially if the n810+1 really has a good camera (from what I've read people saying on the interweb, should be at least as good as the n95 one, but I think we won't know for sure until nokia releases more info).

Re: Twitter application for canola2 as a gsoc project
Hi, we would be definitely interested in the application. Try coming by on #canola on irc.freenode.net to chat. Also, try to research into other clients that have been written in python already, or if there is a twitter library of some kind already done. Ideally applicants would already know python, but if you don't and can learn quickly, that wouldn't be that much of a problem (specially if you are already familiar with MVC and things like that). One way to show that you can learn quickly would be to contribute a patch to canola, try to find a bug or something simple that you'd like to change on canola or the plugins and seeing if you can find your way around the source code. There is a mailing list for Canola (though it hasn't been actively used quite yet, discussing tihs would be a good way to start :P): https://garage.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/canola-devel Cheers, --lf 2009/3/29 kasun herath kasun...@gmail.com: Hi all, I am interested in doing a twitter application for canola 2 as a Google Summer code project 2009. I downloaded canola2 and looked at addons and I could not find any twitter application. I did some research into this and it seems like we would only require, simplejson module as a dependency to such an application. Would you be interested in this project idea? Please note that I have extensive desktop application development experience on Java but not on python. So it would be learning not only PyMaemo and canola2 but also Python for me in the process of doing the project. cheers Kasun Herath. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers -- Every day, once a day, give yourself a present.
