A lot has been done already, look at the projects available at [http://garage.maemo.org garage.maemo.org] to get an idea of what already exists, in order to come up with your brand new ideas. They can be a new functionality added to a consolidated application, a first prototype for a promising new applications exploring new functionality, or a small but killing application bringing the unexpected. We recommend you to propose small challenges developed with good performance instead of big plans impossible to conclude in 3 months. You can be really useful adding a cool new module to be used by other applications or setting a first stone in a project to attract new attention. |

Don't try to guess if your idea will be implemented in Fremantle or not, just add it to the list. Maemo SW will help in order to avoid duplicated work. |

Other possible projects/ideas can be grabbed from the [[Community_wish-list|Maemo community wish-list]] and you can also take a look at the [http://maemo.org/development/documentation/apis/maemo_5/maemo5_alpha_apireferences/ open API's that Maemo provide]. | Other possible projects/ideas can be grabbed from the [[Community_wish-list|Maemo community wish-list]] and you can also take a look at the [http://maemo.org/development/documentation/apis/maemo_5/maemo5_alpha_apireferences/ open API's that Maemo provide]. | ||
