| + | === Proposals for Fremantle Stars === | ||
| + | List your proposals below. Add your comments supporting/against. Provide links to their pages at http://maemo.org/downloads to get more information, see screenshots and try them out. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Release quality ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | * [http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/maemopadplus/ Maemopad+]: pressure-sensitive sketching, available in Extras, now in development again with focus on fixing Usability issues and finger-friendliness | ||
| + | *[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/maemo-mapper Maemo Mapper] [[Image:Star.png]]: Most downloaded application for Maemo. Best map application. Can interact with lots of different mapping sites, including OpenStreetmap. | ||
| + | *[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/numptyphysics Numpty Physics] [[Image:Star.png]]: This game is educational, hard, fun. Made for the stylus. | ||
| + | ** Any ideas for features making the most from an Internet connection? Adding (optionally) the online dimension would be phantastic.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC) | ||
| + | * [http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/scummvm/ ScummVM]: Point-and-click adventures are great for touchscreens, some free-as-in-beer games are available (Beneath a Steel Sky, etc..) | ||
| + | ** This is an enabler. A user can't do much twith this alone. What about proposing a specific game (or set of games) using ScummVM? --[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC) | ||
| + | * [http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/gpodder/ gPodder]: Finger-friendly UI, highlights the Internet aspect of the tablets (download podcasts); regular releases, many Maemo-specific UI changes; performance issues are worked on; tablet-related podcasts exist (example: [http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/talkCast.jsp?masterId=27204&cmd=tc]) - downloading podcasts directly on the mobile device is a thing that you can with Nokia's tablets and gPodder, but not with iPhone/iPod touch right now | ||
| + | *[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/xournal Xournal] [[Image:Star.png]]: A great notes/sketch utility. One of ''few'' apps that utilize the pressure sensitivity of the screen! Invaluable to create and annotate PDF documents on a pocket computer. | ||
| + | * [http://www.pimlico-project.org/index.html Pimlico]: PIM applications | ||
| + | * [http://tarot.freeshell.org/leafpad/ Leafpad] for notes taking (and script programming) | ||
| + | ** Too geeky for this call. --[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC) | ||
| + | * [http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnumeric/ Gnumeric] spreadsheet application | ||
| + | ** Impressing users with a spreadheet editor? Don't get me wrong, I see the usefulness of the application but we are looking for more shiny things in this call.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC) | ||
| + | * [http://www.abisource.com/ Abiword] document editor | ||
| + | ** Any thoughts on adding the real time collaborative editing feature? Still, perhaps this is another tool clearly useful but not really impressive for desktop users - nor seems to be taking many advantages of the Maemo 5 features.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC) | ||
| + | * [http://pidgin.garage.maemo.org/ Pidgin] for instant messaging | ||
| + | * [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/748 Greasemonkey] support? | ||
| + | ** Another enabler. It would be better to have an impressing candidate based on Greasemonkey. --[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC) | ||
| + | * [http://pymaemo.garage.maemo.org/ PyMaemo] | ||
| + | ** PyMaemo is great, but it says nothing per se to users. --[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC) | ||
| + | *[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/maemo-wordpy Maemo WordPy] [[Image:Star.png]]: Blogging software that hooks to WordPress and Blogger accounts, allows image uploads, post creating and editing, tagging. Especially notable for its finger-friendly menu. | ||
| + | * [http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/quiver/ quiver]: image viewer | ||
| + | * [http://www.fbreader.org/ FBReader]: e-book reader. Great functionality, but the UI is a bit clunky (file dialogs are not Hildonized, preferences dialogs are overwhelmingly complicated, there's no smooth touch scrolling). | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Alpha/Beta quality ==== | ||
| + | *[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/osm2go/ osm2go]: This is a tool to '''create''' maps. It makes use of hirez screen, a permanent internet connection for up- and download and the GPS of course. No such tool seems to exist for any other mobile plattform. | ||
| + | *[http://garage.maemo.org/projects/maemo-barcode/ maemo-barcode]: Alpha quality, could be a very cool application with some integration and interface development. | ||
| + | *[http://garage.maemo.org/projects/liqbase liqbase]: Beta (now in extras) playground for sketching with kinetic graffiti with fullscreen tearfree refresh. finger friendly and FAST. shows off your tablet in the best light. | ||
| + | * Bring [http://garage.maemo.org/projects/gazpacho-maemo/ Gazpacho] back to life | ||
| + | ** Developer tools are out of scope in this call.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC) | ||
| + | *[http://garage.maemo.org/projects/bluemaemo/ BlueMaemo]: Alpha quality, have a lot of room for improvement and new features, depending in the maemo 5 hw. | ||
| + | *[http://garage.maemo.org/projects/tear/ Tear]: Alpha quality, a simple webkit-based browser which aims for better tablet-oriented experience (and maybe cross-engine). After the alpha Fremantle SDK will probably employ a Clutter-based UI. | ||

| - | '''Please do not list new proposals directly here''' | + | '''Please do not list new proposals directly here'''. These are projects that accomplish most of the criteria above. They be available in the Maemo 4.1 extras repository and offer a Download page in maemo.org. Add you comment if you think any of these candidates is not fit enough for the top selection, or belong to a different category. Apps marked with [[Image:Star.png]] appear now [http://maemo.org/downloads/featured/OS2008/25/ in the list of featured Maemo applications]. |
