Hey kids,

As the subject line says, I'm having fun with the 800 I got a few days ago...but one thing that's frustrating as &$#& for this Nokia Newb is finding the apps I want to install.

It seems like there's feeds all over the place; Maemo, Garage, and others...

For example, where can I find (if they exist...):

-gnumeric
-abiword
-planner
-notecase
-gcc

These are just a few that come to mind that I'd like to have...

If anyone can point me to these that would be most appreciated!

In the meantime, I have a suggestion for this illustrious group that I think would benefit everyone here....

How about having a thread where each post lists one specific package and it's related info?

This is done over at the OESF.org forums for Zaurus apps and I've found it very helpful. Creates a 'one-stop shopping' approach; ie, one place that I can go to find out about apps and where to get them...

Here's one example of a specific post from that Zaurus forum (so this is not for Nokia's!...)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
GNUDoku 0.93

description
http://icculus.org/~jcspray/GNUDoku/
GNUDoku is a free program for creating and solving Su Doku puzzles. You can use GNUDoku to challenge yourself, to compute solutions, or to verify your own solutions.

download
http://mail.pdaxrom.org/contrib/dese...3_armv5tel.ipk

dependencies
glibmm2_2.8.4_armv5tel.ipk
gtkmm2_2.6.5_armv5tel.ipk
libsigc++2_2.0.17_armv5tel.ipk

all of which can be downloaded from:
http://mail.pdaxrom.org/contrib/armagon

notes
The reason for compiling this is that the version of Sudoku here does not display well in landscape mode (it uses a non-resizeable portrait window), whereas GNUDoku has a resizeable window with the contents autoscaling.

So, this would be format for posts. Of course, it could be modified if everythinks it needs it for Nokia apps....

What do you guys think?
