Great :-) Do we agree on the terms? Either which device I personally will get sooner or in case things go wrong (lost shipping, me being dead, me being crazy and delaying delivery, ...) we can count first developer we can find in Germany getting his/her tablet from developer program and first person we can find who gets Pandora from Evildragon's shop in Germany (both are sources I will use so it is good substitution). People getting devices in other countries (US, UK, whatever) do not count. In case there is no developer program the bet is void.


As for prizes
- if I win I get craves1 SD adapter for N810 including metal cover, it has to be the one that allows fitting accelerometer module but such module is not included in prize (if it materializes I will pay extra for it) If craves1 no longer makes the adapter I get usb2vga adapter with sis chipset
EDIT: if you'd better like to do something instead of material prize (did not think about it before but it makes perfect sense for you when thinking about it now) then I don't know, ideas? Will miss the adapter though ;-)


- if I lose I will deliver code we agree on below. I can accept only stuff I am fairly sure I can do

This is tricky one, I can't promise this since I am not sure I can make it. If we cannot find anything else I can only commit to best effort with unknown result (no dspgateway, possibly no audio for N800, ... anything)

Yes. Not sure how complicated this one is but this sounds doable. BTW what is current status? What exactly does not work? Are there any efforts in progress?

Not sure what this means exactly but anyway I'm not mplayer guy.

Definitely. Good choice :-)
  • text console usable with usb keyboard (770, N800,N810) + emergency shell prompt spawned from initfs
  • Mer version integration
  • serial usb gadget mode for emergency shell (directly usable with Hyperterminal/minicom, no usbnet needed)
  • colors for menu (bg,fg, active+nonactive+disabled text), maybe customized greeting somewhere
  • setting currently selected item as default one for next boot
  • automated building from garage svn to both deb and tar.gz version
Optional stuff I'm not sure anyone wants or is doable
  • setting r&d mode and other flags from menu
  • N810 builtin keyboard map for framebuffer console with usable FN key (i.e. numbers working) with stock kernel (i.e. no hacks for FN in kernel driver, just different map loaded with loadkeys or whatever)
  • not sure about bluetooth keyboard in intfs, is this really needed? Could be done in some console runlevel mode in real rootfs, not sure this is doable in emergency mode run from initfs EDIT: oh you said PS/2, then forget this one, should work with ps2->usb adapter

Anything else? See also ideas I had previously or add your own. I'd prefer kernel or shell hacking, not writing some UI (like UI side of bluetooth PAN for connecting more devices together)

BTW In case we have a bet I reserve the right to start on implementing that stuff sooner than pandora or next tablet ships and finish something even if I win :-) In case I lose I'm not sure if we should have some deadline for the code? Would one year be satisfactory? What about fine in case I do not deliver after deadline? -2500 karma?
