Are you offering a donation for the prize fund? If so it would be very welcome! We're still (yes, still!) getting the paypal situation sorted but let me know if you're happy to pledge that $5 and we'll add you to the list

Welcome aboard JereM, that sounds like a pretty interesting application If you have a spare moment, add yourself to the participants section of the Wiki page so we can keep track of your progress If you;re not sure how, let us know what details you want entered and someone will add you on there.

Haha! Awesome, I seen it in the other thread and thought it's somewhere between genius and insanity.. Im not sure where yet Good job!

And a short primer on packaging would be brilliant, I must admit there will probably be bumps in the next few weeks and packaging could be one of them. I've heard it can be a bit confusing at the beginning, Im sure a tutorial would help a lot!

I'd like to pay $10 to get groups in contacts.. ! (ringtone per group, group sms and stuff like that)

Anyone working on that?
Im not sure if anyone is working on that, but maybe someone will spot your offer Brainstorm or similar might be better sections to get more notice though..

I hadn't heard of AlarmD until your post, I thought it was an application... seems to be an alternative to cron. Might be more info in this thread http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=46594
