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?)

[dwould]

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.

Language/s: C (the only true language)
IDE: ssh Console for building, Windows version of Komodo Edit for source, winscp for copying files. on device compilation.
Project: libliqbase
Progress: much further than i thought, 90% personal completion for what i need,
probably less for others
standalone running needs work on n900
License: gpl
Distribution: free, generous donations, its a library no end user distribution available
Purpose/goal of project: to support construction of liq* apps for n8x0, n900, touchbook, laptops etc

-------
Language/s: C (the only true language)
IDE: ssh Console for building, Windows version of Komodo Edit for source, winscp for copying files. on device compilation.
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.
