Here is the brainstorm:
http://maemo.org/community/brainstor...lver-gnome_do/


As a gnome user I've become addicted to gnome do, and I think that a similar program would be awesome for the N900. Ctrl-space and win!

Anyway I looked into it a little bit and even though there is some old port of mono for maemo I concluded that it's not the way to go.

I found another launcher called Kupfer http://kaizer.se/wiki/kupfer/ that does not require mono and is pretty similar. After some tinkering and compiling of libraries (namely python-gobject_2.16 to get gio) I actually got it compiled on the sdk. It ran, but didn't actually work.

I'm wondering if there are any python coders who would be interested in porting or helping to port kupfer to fremantle?

Another option would be to create an application from scratch. It doesn't seem like a particularly demanding app to make, but it might still be more efficient to port an existing one.
