Hi folks, hope all's going well You might be interested to know we have 82 entries registered to the wiki so far, here's the break down in categories:

•Desktop, System & Utilities - 17
•Games, Graphics & Multimedia - 25
•Network & Communications - 14
•Location & Navigation - 6
•Other - 7
•Updates and development on existing apps - 11

(There is 1 'TBD' and 1 'Unsure')

Which means there are atleast 69 (no sniggering.. ) new entries listed, and 33 of the entries are registered as beginner entries. If we get all of these finished and submitted by the final end date then the competition will be a great success! And we'll all feel like winners with so many new apps to play with too!

Things feel quiet, but as you can see there's still lots of application development going on out there

It's a client for openligadb, a community driven database for (primary german) soccer results. The applications for live-scores in ovi store are (in my opinion) very limited, so I started to write one to satisfy my needs (primary auto-update scores with selectable notification)

In which category would you put it?
Sounds like a great idea EmaNymton Hmm.. tricky to categorise as it has quite a few elements.. let's start with a process of elimination. We begin with the 6 categories:
  • •Desktop, System & Utilities
    •Games, Graphics & Multimedia
    •Network & Communications
    •Location & Navigation
    •Other
    •Updates and development on existing apps

I believe (from the description) that we can rule out 'Games..', 'Location..', and 'Updates..' out right away. I'm thinking maybe 'Other' category, what does everyone else think is most suitable for EmaNyton's application?

Welcome aboard Leon, hope it didn't spoil your vacation too much Don't forget to update

You and me both! It can be a right pain, so I'd encourage our beginners to have a practise run at packaging at this stage (even if the application isn't finished yet) so you're familiar with the process and ready for it.

I would be grateful for help with C, since I am quite sure there are problems with memory allocation and pointers which I cannot see myself.
Memory allocation and pointers - coming from a Java background I know how you're feeling Has anyone offered any advice to you yet? If you haven't already i'd advise adding your post to the development subforum, it has a greater chance of being seen there. Also, nicolai and Atilla77 are often on there and have been great in helping me in the past. I'll ask about on twitter later when i get home from work, keep us up to date with any progress etc
