Dunno about GSoC, but take a look here: https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/branches/simon_wip/maemo-barcode/?root=maemo-barcode In C though I'm afraid. hacky binary here: http://people.bath.ac.uk/enpsgp/nokia770/maemo-barcode/ I've been developing this (slowly) from the test code a group of us put together last year to test 1D barcode recognition (and others - QR, dtmx, etc.). I've been very slow as I've had little time and have also needed to learn the wonders of SQLite and GTK+ (~lart listboxes). The code is pretty messy, but hopefully the idea is clear: Barcode scanner, with web-lookups and various lists into which the barcodes and their web-looed-up data can be saved (e.g. DVDs I own, DVDs I'd like, etc.). My driving force was the fact that I have lots and lots of books, and can never remember which ones of a series I still need. I was hoping to get this all cleaned up far more before putting it out for public consumption, but all the talk of GSoC made me realise there's little point in people re-doing the bits I've already done (though some may vote to wipe the slate clean of course ;)). I'd be more than happy to have some help to speed up cleaning things up and getting everything working (for example I've just noticed that my data view doesn't currently update when you add a new record, search dialog is currently un-implemented, probably lots of bugs in the GUI actually, same for the database code too I imagine), web-scraping functions are currently stubs, the GStreamer output wasn't bring displayed when the analysis loop is running (loop too tight?), etc. Apologies for unleashing this mess on the world! ;) Cheers, Simon _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
