?? Didn't read through all the latest posts but you can code in C for N900, no problem. That's what all of my apps are written in. I think the confusion is with everyone jumping on the QT bandwagon and thinking that's the only thing that exists.... yea QT is cool in concept and things, but there are plenty of alternatives for the here and now...

I'm pretty sure there's got to be QT bindings for C as well for the record.. I don't know for sure, but if there are python bindings, there's probably C bindings too...

I guess I have a good Idea for a new application. But I'm myself unable to handle it.

What about creating a configurable Sharing Plug-in for the Image Application?

The purpose of this application is to open a choicable external Application with the path of the currently viewed image.
It should be simple to create it with good C++ knowledge. I guess you can find everything what is needed here: http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...ug-in_Creation

I often had the wish to open a image in a external editor. At example to open a photo in MyPaint. :rolleyes:

Then we only need to persuade the MyPaint developer to make this command in the shell working with his application: mypaint %1

Right, registered I think......Better get developing.

If anyone wants to see the app, check out the ParcelGenie app on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn......Hopefully I will end up with something similar!!!!!

I added a new Idea to the wishlist:

A tool to edit /etc/xdg/menus/hildon.menu and add Folders to the Application Menu.

See here how it works: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=37874

Please see my post on http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=708374.
I would like to write something like iPhones SleepCycle.
This would be a bigger project and hopefully involve also other people.

take a look at SleepPy (my latest video is about that).
but I could help help you with my sleeping data anyway... ;)

Oh great - as always I'm late... ;)

I'd still like to give it a try, even if it means getting used to C++ again (holy... it's been like a decade), learning maemo-integration and doing the actual coding in 6 days (which is all that remains of my spare time until the deadline :D).

I already have an idea for a game of variable complexity that I would have written, anyway - and with this competition at least I have a good incentive not to stall development for years. :P

On a side note: I literally drooled at the prospect of going to the conference, even if the chances are really slim. Feeling all powered up!
