You're right. Groove-Shark has fantastic potentialities. But in my opinion we shouldn't list this project twice.

D'oh!

Nicely spotted Helmuth! I see it's in the wiki twice, where i blindly copied the list from, so I'll edit that too.

kojacker,

First of all: Congratulations again on the initiative! Looking at the list and thread it seems that you a lot happened in two months!

It probably makes sense this way so there is no need to worry about people fixing bugs on the application after the initial submit and pushing a new package to testing.

I am still curious on when the voting will end and the winners announced though...

I changed on the wiki and you may want to change here to match.

Thanks,
Felipe

Thanks for the kind words, and let's pass those congrats to everyone (inc your good self Felipe) for getting involved Lots of devs have got behind it which rocks, as one of the donors said in a pm so much new development (both projects and threads/chat) has started up since the comp began and we're stealing the credit for that Also so many generous folks on here have put their trust in the comp and donated to the bounty, which says alot for the community here And poor Cosimo is spending his hard earned snorkeling vacation doing competition book keeping

We're kinda feeling our way there and there's been hiccups but it's coming together, as I said before the next comp will learn all the mistakes of this one

I am still curious on when the voting will end and the winners announced though...
I was thinking taking a week after closing date to allow everyone to test the apps and vote for their faves, so say around July 31st by latest we should have our winners. Does that sound fair? Too long? Too short? Id appreciate any thoughts, especially you guys who's apps are in the contest - let me know so I can get it right

I just realized that I was calling my application an "applet" not a "widget"... I guess too many years of JAVA will do that to you...

Done

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

I'd like to ask for a proper Comic Reader.

Actually, cbrPager is not completely finger-friendly and have some bugs since upgrade to PR 1.2 (missing icons) and Comix has also some problems.

Thanks to all.

I wish someone would make a program for resizing the application shortcuts and contact widgets on the desktop.

There are currently a hack made by Matan to hildon-home that allows the resizing of application shortcuts but it doesn't work for the contact widgets.Link

Would be awesome if someone knowledgeble made an UI that enabled this things.

Hi Rob, you're very welcome in the competition Everyone is welcome to join right up to the closing date, the more the merrier.

What you got to do next is add yourself to the participants list on the wiki at http://wiki.maemo.org/index.php?titl..._Competition_1. If you're not sure how just let me know what the details and category you want to enter and I'll do it for you

Im not sure how your script runs, but we're aiming to get new applications into the extras-dev repository by closing date for ease of installing/testing by other users/compo voters.

ivgalvez and AlMehdi, thanks for your suggestions, good ideas! To be honest though, we're in the last week of a 2 month competition - it's probably a little late for someone to start developing and entering those ideas now. But if anyone is working on something similar and yet to enter it, well now they know it would be welcome by others

OK, I think I did it right.

Currently, all that is needed is:
1. Install 'bootmenu-n900' from the extras-dev repo
2. copy my script, "BackupMenu.item" to the "/etc/bootmenu.d/" directory on your N900.
3. Reboot with the keyboard open to use.

Now, I'm pretty sure that this can be done easily enough making it into a package, but I have never made a package before. I've seen a couple of guides, and may be able to figure it out -- Or I may need some help.

Edit:
See http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...837#post754837 for details.

-Rob
