Command line applications and Extras

Posted on 2009-12-08 15:54 UTC by Valério Valério. Status: Under consideration, Categories: maemo.org.

One of the topics of the last community meeting about Extras QA was if command line applications (CLI) should be available for regular users through the application manager or not. We can't reach a consensus, and it seems to generate very contradictory opinions inside our community.

We're talking about apps that doesn't have a UI nor place a icon in the desktop, nor are simple enables that display a message during/after installation.

Please note that this is not about ban some applications, is about the way of get some specific applications.

Would be great if we could resize/scale desktop icons and bookmarks like on KDE or GNOME desktops.

Since now we have in N900 this beautiful contact list with the ability
to choose between mobile operator vs Skype/SIP VoIP for calls,
wouldn't it be great to know how much the last call was in $$
equivalent along with the current call duration time? AFAIK It is available
in desktop Skype.

 

Improving the Calendar in n900

The calendar in n900 is very feature weak. There have been a number of suggestions of ways it could be improved. This brainstorm is to collate them all in one place to make a strong, useful calendar/diary/to-do.
