Bumping...
It's really interesting why rotatedaemon causes Maemo to reboot on some applications.

Sometimes Active Topics rotate quickly...
Sometimes they freeze...
Qt writers come here please...
It's not necessary to love N8 or Nokia deeply...
N8 can always be sold to get N9 later.
Contribution to Wiki will stay in it forever.

hamishwillee with lavish Python and skumar_rao with laconic code excerpts deifinitely take the crown, but there is still room for some more Qt.

QML.

File reading.

Running in the background.

Integrating and intertwining Qt C++, Python, QML, SVG, C, GTK, anything that comes into your head.

The funniest new article, from Nigeria, unstructured, as if writer doesn't know Wiki formatting:

Bumping.
The competition is going to be hard here. I hope Nokia gives out at least ten N8.
I wouldn't envy the judges. It isn't easy to choose.
Less than one day left.

No, not a scammer. Have you read his article?

http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...st&redirect=no

I don't know maybe he copied the article from somewhere but it's completely on-topic. He just eagerly wants to get an N8, and doesn't have enough money.

Lack of money is most likely the only thing linking him and Nigerian scammers.

There are no bad countries, there are just bad people and bad governments. And even then, bad from one point of view is good from another.

There are no new articles appearing right now on Forum's Wiki. Is it night in their time-zone?

The Rules of Participation page says they are running the contest until 1 minute before midnight GMT.

Wish I had seen this thread a few days ago!

Can I win a N8 if I write this kind of article:

Re: Win a Nokia N8 in the Forum Nokia Wiki Qt Article Contest
 
First, you can hardly win by copying information directly from existing website, even if the license is appropriate: it's not new information.

Second, it seems that contribution is judged both by quantity and quality of articles: your chances are higher if you write at least two new non-copied articles long and detailed enough to be considered informative.

You can always try to. Any contribution to wiki is welcome. Later it can be expanded by other users.

Some activity at Nokia Forum, some new articles created...
I hope more Qt developers here get to hear about this contest and probably take part in it.


All times are GMT. The time now is 12:36.
