Tag-based Menu for N900 applications

Posted on 2010-02-11 13:47 UTC by Luis Soeiro. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Desktop.

The default N900 application menu doesn't have categories for applications. After installing some applications it becomes a little cluttered. Hence, there are currently MyMenu and Catorize to help sorting things out, with sub-menus.

Enhance lock screen

Posted on 2009-11-30 10:31 UTC by Pierre Abadie. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Desktop.

The current lock screen (slide to unlock) is really poor with only time and date.

 

The idea is to add:

- Number of new calls/sms/IM/emails (if any)

- Calendar events for the day (if any)

- Battery icon with its charge

- weather information

- rss feed

- music player controls

Caldav support for Maemo calendar

Posted on 2010-01-15 16:44 UTC by Yves-Alexis Perez. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Desktop.

Hi,

a nice alternative to calendar synchronisation is the use of caldav (wikipedia). It's an internet standard (RFC 4791) which describes a calendar extension for webdav.

It's supported by some widely used desktop calendars (Thunderbird/Lightning, iCal, Evolution), it's supported by Google Calendar and there are some caldav server already available (daviCal and calendarserver for example).

It's usable everywhere, the events are directly saved on the remote server and can be shared easily with other people. In case of offline mode, a cache can be used so the calendar is sync'ed with the remote server when online mode is activated (like it's done for the desktop counterparts).

Webdav and vcal/ical libraries can be used to build caldav support into the already existing calendar.
