What Extras applications would you like to see in Mer?
 

I'm starting to look at bringing 'application' packages into Mer from Extras...

I'm starting with the gpe apps ('cos I want them)...

Which ones would you like to see there?

Also, if you have your own application in Extras for Diablo (or want to port one) then I'd be extra happy to help you out and get things going...

Just to set expectations though - I don't expect to have these apps compiled any time soon. If they do compile they'll probably crash. If they don't crash they probably won't look very good and may have usage issues. The idea is to look for common build problems and start sorting them out and maybe introduce people to OBS.

For rapid follow-up, come to #mer or #maemo

By "Extras" you mean those apps that are in the "maemo Extras" repository?

In order of importance to me, I'd like:

Fbreader
gpodder
mplayer
maemo-mapper
canola
load-applet

I see that emelfm2 and Panucci are not in Extras, but I'd put those into my most desired apps.

Also .ogg support for mplayer

Thanks!

I don't know if they're there already (I don't think so) but I'd like to see the python hildon bindings made available on Mer; then I could port my applications :)

@ GeraldKo

load-applet is already available (and, in fact, preinstalled). :)

Re: What Extras applications would you like to see in Mer?
 

Yes, but Extras is just called "Extras" these days.

Re: What Extras applications would you like to see in Mer?
 

They're there. :)

I had a fun time rebuilding them for python2.6...

Re: What Extras applications would you like to see in Mer?
 

The applications I use on a regular basis are fbreader, pidgin, canola, mplayer and gpe calendar. If those were available mer would be ready to take over from maemo for me

Feed circuit, feed circuit, feed circuit. Although, if it'd help, i can email the author directly. (at least i think fc is in extras. travelling now and can't check)

Re: What Extras applications would you like to see in Mer?
 

For me the most important apps are:
- Tear
- Canola
- Fbreader
- Mplayer
- Claws Mail
- Large Statusbar Clock
- OMWeather
- Yellownotes applet (not in Extras)
- The gpe stuff (calendar, todo, contacts, status applet)
- Internet Radio applet

I guess once Mer is less rough around the edges and once these apps are available on Mer I will abaondon Maemo.

Also it would be nice to have:
- Gnumeric
- ATI85
- StarDict
- Personal Menu (or some similar functionality for quick access to frequently used apps)
- Some SIP capable phone software (doesn't have to be the one delivered with Maemo)

Re: What Extras applications would you like to see in Mer?
 

For me the top priority list (in order of priority) right now would be:

GPE
maemo-mapper + AGPS
mplayer
FBReader
Xournal
StartDict
