I am pretty much confused how to participate in the competition, every time I check the wiki, then come here back and again confused. I think I read that there will be some page where we have to kind of sign up to participate in the competition but I am confused, I think some meet meego site will host the show.

I am uploading my app and screenshot here and will make entry in wiki as well.

Developer:joseph9560 aka Krishna Prasad Shrestha
Name of the app:nepcal
Current Progress:70%
Beginner Entry: Yes

Description of the app:
Full Name of the app is Nepali Calendar and its function is to show current Nepali Calendar month. In Nepal (Country of Mt. Everest, the highest peak of the world, if you are confused), English date is still not widely used. National Nepali Calendar is Nepal Sambat but Bikram Sambat is still in use in actual practice. I frequently needed today's Nepali Date and I have no app to do that. There was a j2me app but it didn't even loaded completely in Microemulator. So finally decided to write up my own app.

At first I made a calculation of today's Nepali Date, then shown it in label. It was too limited in functionality and hence I added one more functionality that is month view. Nepali date is shown in box outside bracket while number inside bracket is English date. There is a label in the side to display today's Nepali and English date, four buttons to change displayed Nepali month and year, that's all is the app. There is a about dialogue menu but haven't implemented it.

I thought I will continue to develop the application further but I am finding it hard to manage my time especially after I started taking GRE class at morning and yes I do job at day.

Planned Future but can't say if I can manage time for that any sooner:
-Date convertor to convert date from Nepali to English and English to Nepali
-Implement some dialogue boxes such as about, aboutqt etc etc
-show/hide days of other months (before 1st day of the month and after last day of the month)
-show/hide English day that is displayed in bracket
-show the English date as subscript
-set custom config file where user can put his/her own data file to calculate date (I have put data of only 3 yrs, there's no formula to calculate number of days in a month)

That's etc! Cent percent useless app for most of the people except Nepalese. If I implement config file then user may create calendar for his/her own national calender if they have calender system which is not covered by any formula(to calculate number of days of a month). Another quick note is I tried to multi-cal-date-widget and it was probably few decade back than what should have been in Nepali Calender, tried to tweak it without any success finally qt solved my problem.

I want to remind that before creating this app, I didn't know a single line of c++, I wish qt supported c#!!! c++ is indeed different. I am newbie to both qt and c++ and most of the functionalities I wanted to implement is very simple thing for experienced qt developers but for me, its darn hard.
