Language/s: C SDL
IDE: Nano (I'm old skool) + MaemoSDK + compiling on device
Project: FlipClock
Progress: 70% on base app, porting from Diablo to Fremantle will take a little bit of extra time but not too bad.
License: GNU GPL
Distribution: Free, Donations through Paypal once app is released, possibly OviStore once Fremantle version is ready.

Purpose/goal of project: Provide large display theme-able clock with full alarm interface to allow tablet/device to be used as daily alarm clock/regular clock.

(I added that purpose thing, hopefully it helps let people know what the project is about and prevent people from overlapping/focusing on doing the same thing twice?)

Project: Witter (basically me just leaning)
Language/s: Python/gtk
IDE: Esbox - ssh to n810 and maemo5 scratchbox
Progress: erm...well I've got the basics working.
Purpose/goal of project: my own learning. I wanted to get into developing for Maemo and figured I'd start with the 'hello world' of the web2.0 world...a twitter client.
Once I've got the hang of things I may try more useful projects

Language/s: C++
IDE: still trying to figure that out (Eclipse hopefully)
Project: fingershare
Progress: -10%
License: GNU GPL
Distribution: Free
Purpose/goal of project: Fun, but so far one big headache, coming from a WinTel C++\C# environment to Linux\C++\Sandbox is a little hard. Instant gratification is non-existant here - but I feel the long term relationship has prospects.

Project: liqbase-playground liqflow liqtorch liqcalendar liqsketch liqgraffiti liqbook liqpostcard liqrecentmedia liquser orchestra eureka liqremote liqmap liqtag
Progress: further than i thought, i use the apps as required,
each needs integration work
License: gpl
Distribution: free,
generous donations,
app sponsorship (in context)
app/dev training
ovi store seems distant and not applicable for license or even n810 users or mer,
prefer extras as things are ready :)
specific modules written by others can do what they like though

Purpose/goal of project: needs a whole thread on its own, wont pollute here, go find out.
