Glad to see some dialogue on getting a solution. I suggest studying the N97 since it supports widgets and a rotating UI, albeit the N97 widgets aren't free floating or irregularly placed.

Keyboard keyboard keyboard, this was on of the biggest deals with the g1 which they tried to resolve with the dream or mytouch or whichever. It is greatly unconfortable to have to slide the keyboard out even if all your trying to reply with is "OK" to a text or a IM message.

This was luckily fixed for the G1 with Android 1.5. And on the N900, you can enable the onscreen finger keyboard, if you like.

You could try http://maemo.org/community/brainstorm/

What I propose:
- To begin, open a page on the wiki so that everyone can deposit these ideas. On this page will be also listed those who want to help. So do not hesitate to register: programmers, testers, UI specialists, etc ...
- When Nokia will release the list I mentioned on page 38, we begin to assign tasks to the community of programmers, create verticals UIs and testers will test. Once a software has a vertical functional interface, we sends improvements for they can be included in Maemo 5.

The best it's to begin with pre-installed softwares, then the menu of software, then the dashboard and for finish the Desktop.

This right for everyone?

PS: I'll try to help as possible, but I can't guarantee this: it's my last year of study and I will have to create many software in the year.

Nobody is interested?

And zerojay, no new from Quim or Daniel about the list I mentioned here?
Very good idea: Does Nokia provide a list, of component (package) of Maemo 5, containing:
- The name of the package.
- Package version.
- Package description (what it is)
- Package dependency.
- His license (FOSS or not FOSS).
- Responsible for the package.
- GIT or SVN Link to get the source code.
- A link to its section in bugs.maemo.org (for save time)
- Where to send contributions to the source code?

?

If Nokia doesn't do so, he should, because I doesn't see how the community could contribute effectively to Maemo 5 without it.
If we get all informations make a section of Maemo.org where we could get all this information and the packets corresponding as Package.Ubuntu.com like a good idea, no?

Don't worry. We've always been given this info before and this time around won't be an exception, I'm sure.

For the previous version of Maemo, the list was disponnible only for the SDK, no?
I haven't found it for the Maemo 4 installed on MIT.

PS: This list is also very important for me: If there are too many proprietary software in this list, I don't buy the N900, the software that I develop in this moment for Maemo is the first and the last and I don't get involved in the Maemo community.
And yet, it started badly ...

I'll help out with UI (design side anyway) point me in the right direction, let's do this.
