I'll start from this. It can be incorporated in hildon-home later. For reading the stroke a window has to be created. Reading directly in hildon-home would be much better.

I tried some multitouch experiments on my notebook. It's somehow possible , but I don't believe you will ever have any really good results.

I am using easystroke, and I love it. I tried to port it, but failed. It's written in C++ and I am not familiar with this. Anyway I think it's to "big" for the n900 and the gui would have to be rewritten. So, a small solution would be enough for the beginning

@WhiteWolf
OK, thats the plan
