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

Focus developers and users on the right channels

  • Today we have too many channels (ITT, maemo.org...). Maybe have some more focus like: maemo.org for developers and ITT for end users and something that link they so software releases can be announced automatically on ITT and users from ITT can easily post bugs on garage bugzilla for example.
