Guys,

Its taken me a couple of days to find the time but I have successfully ported my first app and uploaded to extras-dev (getting the desktop file working proved the biggest pain in the @ss, and I get the feeling there would have been a better way to do it). This is a port of xblstatus made by people a lot cleverer than me to view xbox live friend activity. I take no credit other than porting it across to maemo, mainly for my own benefit, and also to see the process from beginning to end.

Now that I have it working for me through the repository, I'm not in a rush to make any immediate changes, but some things that could be looked at further down the line:

• Making layout more maemo friendly
• A way to group notifications so they dont take over as friend activity changes
• More friend info from xbox.com ie gamerscores
• A page displaying your profile info and achievements gained.
• Send/View messages via xbox.com
• Portrait Mode
• Numerous bug fixed

All these should be do-able but Im still on a learning curve of the python coding process so prob won't be a quick implementation if at all.

Give it a whirl and let me know if it works for you but got to say Im pretty damn proud of myself to have gotten this far. Still learning so any probs/advice/abuse....go easy

P.S Cheers to the guys in my previous thread who helped me get to this point!
