I'm also planning to develop another app (to increase my chances ), but I'll hold up on that one until I'm finish with the tumblr app.

Btw, I'm quite new with Qt (and Maemo development in general), so I'm wishing myself good luck on this. It's a good thing that Nokia finally releases PR1.2 today, so I can be comfortable with developing Qt 4.6 apps.

Good luck to everyone participating, and thanks to the people sponsoring this competition!
Hmmm... im ready to go with the "Other" thread apart from this one entry. I have the entry in the wiki but it's not linked to a thread, no package, no code, no garage project for it i can find... sent pm to JMacalinao earlier but no reply yet...

Anyone know anything about this "Tumblr for N900" project, does it exist? Time's running out for it..

Edit:
Actually it's two entries, as also there's Khertan's KhtEditor

And KhtEditor should be available soon : http://khertan.net/khteditor
.. doesnt appear to be ready for testing, not has there been any update since this above post. Im not sure if it's fit for the competition... Im sure he's done a lot of work, but from his website and gitorious I have no idea how to judge what he has completed

Edit2: Through a bit of googling, I found Khertan's twitter page and he says
#KhtEditor first Release 0.0.1 is available on my repository for n900. Features are missing but for #python dev is faster than #PyGTKEditor

So i guess that is a release. I'll put a small entry in for it on the voting thread and a link to his page. If people are interested to try it out they can research further I guess..

It's really only because it's the 1st comp and in the spirit of trying to get everyone who wanted to enter involved Im keeping his entry in though, really.. we shouldn't have to be hunting down bits of info for people to build their entries for them

Time's out for Tumblr, unfortunately, as all I have is a project name and an author... I have nothing to link to for users to test..
