Hi.
I'm relatively new to this forum, and just saw this topic.
I want to enter this competition with a script/application that I am making: A simple, bootloader-based(requires: 'bootloader-n900') complete backup and restore utility. Think "ghost" for the N900.
As it is now, you can only backup settings with the included tool, and if you "brick" the OS, you will have to start from scratch with apps etc.
With my tool, you can simply create an image, and at a later time restore it - There are one or two ways of doing this, but all require network/SSH access, and all require complex PC knowledge.
My application aims to solve this problem: You simply reboot the N900 with the keyboard open, select backup from a list, and follow the on-screen instructions.
As it is, I am about 70% done with it, having started last week, but I am hesitant to post my code here until I make sure that the restore tool works as-described.
That all being said, can I enter this application, and if so, is this post good enough? Should I do something more?
And, when I get it finished, where should I post it(and its install instructions)?
Thanks all,
-Rob
