Task:100Days

Help define the maemo.org 100 Days action plan.


Contents

Get the server and bandwidth infrastructure up to speed

  • Mirror the repository.maemo.org to ensure good uptime.
  • Mirror tablets-dev.nokia.com to ensure good uptime.
  • Improve the hardware and bandwidth availability behind *.maemo.org to ensure quick response—maemo.org is too slow!


Internet Tablet Talk Syndication

  • Provide an automatic way to re-list applications at the Internet Tablet Talk Software Section (itTSS).
  • Each application (version) that is re-listed at Internet Tablet Talk, starts a new thread in the forums so end-users get notified of new apps as well as provide a way to give feedback to the developers. Developers themselves can also join in the discussion. This hope to help better the quality of applications.
  • Provide a way for developers to easily add a bug at the app's Garage for confirmed bugs reported in the discussion thread.

Update develop libs

  • gcc-4.x, glib, powervr, it's important to give developers much more time to play with newer tools than short before a major upgrade takes place (of course with disclaimer that nothing is guaranteed to be shipped in a certain way)

Ship high level building blocks

  • Think of media server, voip, contact lists, camera, GPS localization. Currently developers only have the low level API's, while mostly they just want a widget that displays the mentioned data and listen to user interaction signal or device signals. This also makes these functionalities look the same in all applications using them
