Sorry, no update today, but I want to inform you that I'm currently working to implement different language versions.
Please see the screenshots below for a small teaser.

Sadly I'm currently in big trubble with the encoding of the russian characters. :(

If here are some Qt developers around with some know-how in this issue-area I would be glad to receive some hints! :D Otherwise I will try to research how to do this next weekend. :)

I've added now support for the german bash site: german-bash.org - I have still some problems with the language encoding, but at the german site they are not as horrible as at the russian. :D
So we are able to read the text - even with some wrong characters. Will try to fix it soon... ;)

I asked the webmaster twice for a permission to integrate his content into my application - but still without reply. So the support for the german site is preliminary... perhaps I had to remove it afterwards.
I don't know... :confused:

Does anybody know about the facts regarding the copyright for the viewed content?

My Application has a reference with link to the page, I don't store any kind of data and I show only the content from the websites in a different way (without advertisements).
So, technically I would say it works like a Opera Mini - but specific created for this special website.

Am I right?

FINALLY I was (thanks to my newest app idea and my amateurish first steps) able to fix the encoding issue for the german language! :D

I already uploaded a update for the german version to maemo extras. Get it while it is hot. ;) The russian version should be ready soon! :)

great work ^^ keep it up like this ;)
i'm happy about the implementation of the german language(native german speaker ^^)
what i would like to see/what i think is missing in your app is a refresh button for the random posts. it would be very cool if you could integrate one ^^

Re: [ANNOUNCE] BashORGquotations - unofficial bash.org client - the encyclopedia of funny IRC quotes!
 

Yeah, I had this thought already... will see how to do it. At the english version with the 50 random quotes there was not such a need. But the german site is very "economical" in comparsion with only 5 quotes. ;)

Here you are! :)

Get version 0.2.2 now from extra-devel.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] BashORGquotations - unofficial bash.org client - the encyclopedia of funny IRC quotes!
 

I made a additional small fix and pushed BashORGquotations to extra-testing. Please VOTE if it works without problems. :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] BashORGquotations - unofficial bash.org client - the encyclopedia of funny IRC quotes!
 

I guess it is now official and I just wan't to say thankyou. My small Application BashORGquotations participated at our Community Coding Competition and won the 4th place! Yay! :D

THANKS A LOT FOR ALL VOTERS! :)

And by the way, this would be a good chance to vote for the package. ;)

So, lets wake up this thread. Still no update regarding the russian language support, I have to apologize, but finally I found last weekend some hours for a fast port of this application to the Nokia N9. Perhaps I will find soon some time to do the support for the russian bast.org site. But time is a very limited resource.

I removed the ORG in the middle of the application name.
Get BashQuotations now from the ovi store for free. (there is only a small advertisement, click it if you want to support my small hobby with lousy 0,005 US ct :D)

And as always: ENJOY! :)

I'm sorry to say this but this is just a horrible app.

Limited functionality (only choices are random and top100 quotes, why on earth?), atrocious UI design combined to the lagging scrolling makes this very burdensome to use.
