I've read that there is a Gwibber (twitter app, see: http://gwibber.com/) that runs really well on OS2008 but I have not found any .deb for it anywhere. Does anyone know how to install or in what repo it might be hiding in?

Saw that too but can't find the latest (or any .deb for Maemo OS2008).

There seems to be a mythical build for the N900 as well, although all I can find are some screenshots!

I have had a look on the gwibber site and the source does not seem to be easily downloadable, otherwise it may be worth a punt at running in a scratchbox environment.

The app seems to be written in python, using GTK libraries so it should hopefully be doable. If i can get the source I will see if it will work.

Be great if an experienced dev could take a look, aqs to be honest I don't have much of an idea!

I'll look further as well.
If you find a deb (Diablo or Maemo5) do let me know

Just having a rake on google, and found this article about the N810 and gwibber from one of the gwibber devs, which is promising.

Yeah I also mentioned it to w00t the Facebrick developer and someone in the thread pointed tough a Webpage talking about a N900 port in the works...

It actually seems pretty nice and the UI should need really minor adjustments for finger-friendliness so think it's a good candidate for porting/useful app...

Hmm - downloaded the source and copied it over to the N810.

Tried to build it and it fails needing python-distutils-extra, which is in extras-devel, but it depends on another package which then has more dependancies - Package hell!!

The Maemo4 VM image with the SDK/scratchbox installed is being downloaded. I'll fire that up, and see if I can grab everything in there, and build Gwibber.

I have also fired a mesage of to the Gwibber team on Twitter (gwibber) asking about a port/package for N8x0 - I suggest everyone else reading this who would like it do the same. The main developer has/had an N810, and has had it working (see link in my above post) so it's doable..
