Hi all! Sorry about disappearing for so long, I just keep getting distracted from my pasta projects...

Yes! I really should have gotten this implemented by now, I would be very grateful if you've got the time to do this...

This is not so easy. If you want a Maemo UI, and you want the app to stay up in the background, you kind of need to do something like maybe a status menu widget. What's worse, though, is that recording audio is a processor- and memory-intensive task; your phone is doing an awful lot of work when you run this program. I'm really not sure this is something you would want running hidden in the background...

I had all sorts of problems with Garage last year, so I started moving all my stuff over to Github. Here's the package page for Orecchiette:

http://maemo.org/packages/view/orecchiette/

I'm not entirely sure how maintainers are defined in the maemo.org system. There's a "Maintainters" line in the debian control file, but it doesn't seem to align with the garage or TMO user names...
