There have been previous discussion listing cool apps and stuff, many of them gone with the wind. Now you can help getting a solid selection to be showcased permanently in maemo.org.

One of the tasks agreed in the 100 Days Action Plan is to define Maemo. There are a couple of subtasks where you can help a lot. In fact you are invited to coordinate and complete them:

- Remarkable community projects around Maemo.

- Upstream projects Maemo relies upon.

Anybody in this forum can take part in the first task. The second is more for those interested in platform components and their developer projects somewhere in the free software community.

The more you can help here, the more the maemo.org development team will be able to push other things. Thank you!

Forgot one important detail. This is serious work. I want to propose both tasks as part of the second sprint of the 100 Days in our maemo.org development sprint meeting (by IRC next week, you can join).

This means that there should be at least one coordinator for each before the sprint meeting. This also means that ideally the tasks would be completed 20 days after, although there is nothing bad in delaying as far as there is real progress done.

Have I scared you? Should I have put in the subject "LIST HERE YOUR TOP TEN APPS!" Am I being impatient...?

fwiw, Nokia will take very seriously this selection, helping the apps projects selected to be ''ready for primetime'' and promoting them extensively.

I understand is not that simple to jump and say "I will coordinate" but what is the effort that takes to start listing your preferred apps, those you consider all Maemo users should be aware of?

Post them here if you are lazy about the maemo.org wiki.

Also developers: don't be shy about your own work. Yoi have good criteria and you can differentiate your litte hacks from the projects that take you so many brain and hours. You can also see what are the projects with more potential if someone would give you a hand.

Don't be shy, not now.

To get things started, my favourite tablet apps (they also happen to have been recent pearls in many cases) are:

• Numpty Physics
• Maemo Recorder
• Maemo Mapper
• Vagalume
• Dates
• Contacts
• XChat
• Pidgin for Maemo
• Camera
• Abiword
• Gnumeric

Ooops - I went to 11 (and I didn't even get them all in).

Cheers,
Dave.

Somebody got to start from some place, be it a good job or rotten tomatoes, here I am.

Goal: Develop internetTV on maemo
Work in progress:
1) WorldTV99, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=19044
2) VCURLs72, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=18769

Certainly this is NOT the top app, but is certainly one of the most easy-tablet-show-off app.

Intro (?) and screenshots added, please go browse it, it took me 30 min to do it, and I WANT AUDIENCE....just kidding.


bun

Do you have screenshots or intro page somewhere for the lazy ones willing to get a first impression?

my 10 cent...

1: Claws mail
2: Canola2
3: Mplayer
4: GPE
5: Erminig
6: VNC viewer
7: scummVM
8: Maemopad+

well - 8 cent at least.

Mine.

1)Canola2
2)Modest
3)mCalendar
4)Maemo Mapper
5)ScummVM
6)Battle Gweled

Canola, even if too memory consuming, is THE third party app of maemo.

My first post after a long hiatus:

1. Canola2 with YouTube, Last.FM and Tuning (Album Art and Video Thumbnail) plugins
2. mPlayer
3. Skype

After the Diablo upgrade and reflecting on keeping only the apps that I use (and having found the tablet running a lot faster as a result), these are the only 3rd party apps that have justified their existence in my N800. Skype, however, may end up getting uninstalled as my contacts are just not being downloaded from the server as it used to do, and having an empty contact list is as useful as a glass hammer

Where I previously needed Modest, the built-in mail client works well for me now
The built-in SIP client works well with VoIPBuster for my PSTN calls

Adblock doesn't seem to work for me anymore, and neither goes Greasemonkey, otherwise they would have made it into my list above
