That's good news! But as far as I'm aware of the proposal selection process, the more mentors consider the application cool, the more chances to be accepted it has.

More like stabilization to be interesting to 3rd party developers (not much fun in developing for a moving API).
Yes, that's what I meant.


Correct (except for the buttons, we don't have those yet , and the mapping application - location stuff is supported by system libs).
Cool, it seems I'm good in [s]guessing[/s] analyzing.

About location: locations can be processed without mapping application, that's true. But it would be very cool for user to actually see on the map the locations of interest, set them manually, adjust radius, etc. Check the Android Locale screenshots.

It will increase the user base of Shepherd dramatically: people love bells and whistles. And it will increase the user base of the application Shepherd would be integrated with, so I don't think its maintainers would be unfriendly.

So, as said, the thinnest segment is the GUI, but based on the feedback from this thread there is no such thing as too many possible triggers or actions
I think one proposal can incorporate both.
