FilmNotes

Category: Desktop, System & Utilities
Beginner: Yes
Platform: Harmattan

Application Description:
FilmNotes is an application designed for film photographers. It enables us to keep track of how a picture or a film was used and which equipment was used (useful for troubleshooting).

By defining the films that one uses (and other equipment), you can open a new film roll (which also generates a serial number for the new roll, in order to be able to identify it) and then inside the previously opened roll, one can define pictures. Each picture can also contain information about how the exposure was done and e.g. which lens was used in that particular picture.

Kana of The Day
Developer: Hossein
Category: Other
Beginner: No
Platform: Fremantle (N900)

Application Description:
Kana of The Day is an application together with Desktop Widgets that shows one Japanese letter everyday so you can remember one hiragana and one katakana each day (or more than one if you wish).

The main application supports portrait mode, swiping your finger to go to next/previous letter. Tapping the home widgets will open the main app. You can also restrict the kana sets shown from the menu.

The database and categories (sets) are those from the `kanatest` project so after using this to remember the kana, you can use `kanatest` to test your knowledge.

Version 1.0 was a desktop application, supporting portrait and landscape modes and finger swipe, etc.
Version 1.1 I added two desktop widgets, one horizontal and one vertical, put them wherever on your desktop you’re OK with.

The database was taken from the kanatest project. It’s the gojuon and additional kana table. (Only files kanadb.h and kanadb.cpp in the app sources)

Download Instructions:
Current version, Kana of The Day 1.1.1 is available in extras-devel. Install it via `apt-get install kanaoftheday`.
Here is the link to the .deb file for convenience: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d....1.1_armel.deb

You can discuss this project in the following thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1263245
I respect your thoughts.
