Florian's GPE Stuff

The Plan

I'm known to be the one who can't stop coding on GPE applications... but in fact i do some other things too. (... like writing GPE documentation). Did i mention that i code GPE applications? ;-)

I have nice collection of things to do for GPE, so if you want to help please do.

• Introduce a new concept for configuration and hardware control.
• Include device type detection in gpe-conf (in progress).
• Improve the timezone selection tool (done) and the pcmcia applet.
• Write a complete GPE development howto (in progress).
• Create a document describing GPE application design and guidelines.
• Collect information about porting GPE to a new device and document where all the configuration bits are stored (in progress).
• Extend proper support to other mobile devices running Linux.
• Plugin support for gpe-today and integration into gpe-appmgr tab.
• Create a simple backup tool.
• Support for easier to use installation targets in gpe-package like a list of available themes and complete language support for all installed applications.
• Perform a detailed memory awareness analysis and improvement study of GTK and a GPE based device.
• Write a new, cool gpe-desktop application with infoprints and plugin support.
• Review and improve GPE PIM data structures.
• Introduce colours to mark PIM categories. (in progress)
• Improve keyboard control in gpe-calendar.
• Write or adapt a GTK based panel.
• Add tools and support for cellphones (syncing, voice, sms)
• Create a notes application supporting voice, text and sketch notes.
• An opensync gui.

GPE Documentation

Nils and me created a new sketch about the architecture of GPE [png] [pdf]

A pile of GPE documentation and useful links is located on the documentation page.

Sponsoring?

That's a very good idea... send me a russian camera, some food for my wife and me or just help me coding :-)
