waze sources are at http://www.waze.com/wiki/index.php/Source_code

previous link was http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=39391

I will donate 100$ (in cash or via paypal) for a port

If anyone else finds this a good cause, kindly add your name and donations below.
Interesting application! I'm doing myself application for routing problems but for other ( harder ) problems.

AFAIK this app is more a social app then a routing problem app. IMO from what I've read its just recording the users position and speed and gathering it in a central database where everyone can get an account.

Maybe they use the harvesine formula to find some users.
Unfortunatley it's not explainend very well and there isn't an API documentation although it is open source at least the source is available.

About the source: I'm not very good in C and also I know little of Linux / Maemo but it is good that it is in C. But a big problem would be to port the screen functions because Android don't use X-Server.

That's just my opinion.
