Now that the donations issue has been handled, what about the voting?
How is it going to work? Starts on? Ends on? Who can cast votes? How? Where?

I remember reading somewhere that the idea was to use the "testing" repository voting system. Is it? I am curious because the "new" applications are bound to have bugs and every new package with fixes will have a different "voting instance" on testing. Also, I find voting on "testing" a bit cumbersome, it would be better if we could bring a lot of the community to vote.... just my 2cts.

I'm not quite familiar with the limitations of the forum's voting feature, but wouldn't it be possible to simply create a topic for each category with a list of the applications to vote for?

An added benefit might be that in the first post of those voting threads, additional information for each project provided by the developers (where to download, short description, screenshots, links to websites and development threads) could be added to help the voters with making a decision.

I donated 40eur (minus the fees). But I'm afraid I'm not gonna made it to this one. I would need to upgrade to Snow Leopard and still would get only the beta version of the SDK. So I rather wait it to be more mature. I have no interest in fighting to put on the basic environment - i want to get straight to business

Just use some Linux in a VM and install the SDK there.

Or succumb to the dark side of Python programming...

(Btw, for everybody who already did that: Eric runs from within EasyDebian, and pretty fast/stable/smoothly, too.)

I've just entered Gonvert. Its an existing program but has had "significant" changes. I'll let others judge if they are significant enough to be worth being in the competition
  • Rewritten to use Qt in preparations for Meego
  • "Favorites" for unit categories and units
  • Quick Jump
  • Recent Conversions selection
  • Adding a single window Category, To, From conversion mode.
  • More? I can't remember

Hi,

my contribution for this coding competition:

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...980#post748980

I put it in the category "Other" in the competition-wiki page.
Because there is no "Office" categery. Or should it be
"System & Utilities" instead?

  * Bugfixing: - 

queen-beecon (0.1.9.9)

  * New: Added "On Sight" Update Policy (If flagged, content is not updated if widget is out of sight (on other desktop) or if display is locked or in stand-by)   
  * New: Parameter Variables substitution for using with scripts which holds "On Sight" or "Out Of Sight" status: $QBW_ON_SIGHT (true=QBW Instance is "ON SIGHT", that is widget is on current desktop and display is not locked or on stand by. false=QBW Instance is not on current desktop and visible or display is off or on stand by)
  * New: DBUS method "is_on_sight" which returns true (QBW Instance is "ON SIGHT", that is, widget is on current desktop and display is not locked or on stand by) or false (QBW Instance is not on current desktop and visible or display is off or on stand by)
  * Changed: Optimized usability of settings for Widget Width and Height
  * Changed: Optimized progress animation logic for visibility when instance not On Sight
  * Bugfixing: - 

queen-beecon (0.1.9.8)

  * New: Implemented per-instance progress animation with customizable number of frames, timer, position and possibility to have it shown or hidden (Now every instance can have its own progress animation) + Settings for Hide/Show, frames #, timer, position and basename. 
  * Changed: Extended error message text to all DBUS methods
  * Changed: Now when command or script do not return any output no more "No Output" text gets printed inside the widget
  * Bugfixing: Added error message if non existing parameter is supplied to all DBUS methods "set_param_*" 
  * Bugfixing: Under certain conditions HotSpot Index was not properly reset in case update policies prevented execution of script from happening. Fixed.

queen-beecon (0.1.9.7)

  * New: -
  * Changed: Line width for widget contours FX when widget pressed set to 1px    
  * Bugfixing: Reentrancy issues for DBUS Monitor. Fixed

  * Bugfixing: Issues with positioning of small widgets with respect to bottom and right margins. Fixed. 

queen-beecon (0.1.9.6)

  * New: REVOLUTION!!! :) Implementation of multiple (9 = grid 3x3) Hot Spots to click on the widget. Clicked Hot Spot Index Position can then be passed to the executed script via Parameter Variables Substitution $QBW_HOTSPOT_PRESS (0=Not Pressed or other update policy,1=Top Left,2=Top Center,3=Top Right,4=Center Left,5=Center,6=Center Right,7=Bottom Left,8=Bottom Center,9=Bottom Right)
  * New: Parameter Variables substitution for using with scripts which hold Proxy related information: $QBW_HTTP_PROXY, $QBW_HTTPS_PROXY, $QBW_FTP_PROXY, $QBW_SOCKS_PROXY, $QBW_RTSP_PROXY (In the format <host:port>)
  * New: Parameter Variables substitution for using with scripts which hold Proxy related information: $QBW_IGNORE_HOSTS_PROXY (In the format <host1;host2;host...>)
  * New: Parameter Variables substitution for using with scripts which hold Proxy related information: $QBW_AUTO_CONFIG_PROXY_URL
  * New: Parameter Variables substitution for using with scripts which hold status or persistency information stored in configuration via DBUS method call set_param_string string:"rememberMe" string:<rememberthis> : $QBW_REMEMBER_ME. Useful, for example, for remembering values like counters across subsequent command executions. 
  * Changed: Logic to purge configuration settings of non-existent QBW instances from configuration file. (Check/Purge performed at every entrance in Settings dialog)    
  * Bugfixing: Reentrancy problem with Settings dialog box. At times, in case of laggy interface, 2 or more instances of dialog were opening. Fixed. 
  * Bugfixing: Incomplete unreferentiation of DBUS resources. Fixed. 
  * Bugfixing: Incomplete unreferentiation of callback functions for async command execution and timers. Fixed. 
  * Bugfixing: Incorrect logic for updating when widget desktop was active/on. It was updating also when active widget's desktop was swept off. Now updates content only if "Update on Desktop" is TRUE and Widget's Desktop is being swept on. Fixed. 

queen-beecon (0.1.9.5)

  * New: Added supplementary progress images/icons (cycle is "queen-beecon-progress[0-3].png") searching logic in directory storage in this order 1) "~/Mydocs/.images/queen_beecon_dir" 2) "~/.queen_beecon_dir"

  * Bugfixing: New asynchronous execution logic was not releasing file handles. Fixed

queen-beecon (0.1.9.4)

  * New: Ability to execute scripts by intercepting specific DBUS broadcasted signals/methods/errors issued by the system or other applications + Relevant configuration parameters (Ex.keyboard lock, slide open/close, ecc.)

Im going to try and keep it simple with a forum vote on a thread for each category. I haven't made the thread yet because we wont know all the entrants until the deadline, also people will start voting right away.. then ask to change it later
