Just to let anyone interested know: I have now pushed some commits to
the zhone repository at git.freesmartphone.org, and I intend to
continue doing so from time to time, which I think that changes are
stable and safe enough.

For what it's worth, I think that zhone is a very attractive phone
application, and so well worth a bit of continuing work.

All interested parties: please do keep an eye on the repository from
time to time, and let me know if you have any concerns.  Also, if you
have any suggestions, requests or patches, please feel free to send
them to me.

Regards,
   Neil

Absolutely. If you want to get commit access to zhone, drop me your ssh
key.

Cheers,

Well, I think you could discuss with FSO team if you could commit
rights to the zhone repository there. It's the most obvious/known
place anyway, and I'd think it'd bring more visibility to the patches
in your tree if they would be there.

Exactly, and thanks a lot for your current work.

> The problem is that it's just too good-looking!

I quite agree. Despite its limitations (like to send SMS receiver has
to be in the addressbook, and the lack of proper phone log) I like it
a lot.

Maybe ask on http://projects.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/smartphones-userland/
list, or file a ticket in their trac asking commit permissions?

Yes, it would probably need a bit more work.

I regard all of my patches as "submitted upstream", by virtue of
having been announced here.  Is there a specific further step that I
should take to offer and flag them to git.freesmartphone.org ?

If no one else wants to do it, I would be happy to be responsible for
collating further zhone development.

I know it's always been flagged as only a test UI, and there's that
big and very clear warning at the start of the code.  The problem is
that it's just too good-looking!  I don't know of any prettier phone
UI, and I don't know how to build an equally pretty one from scratch.
Hence I'm quite keen to continue using and developing it.

Can someone from freesmartphone.org comment on possible processes here?

Thanks, I will integrate these.  [2] looks easy, but [3] looks like it
will need a tweak to retain the current SIM-backed contacts too.

You could try to submit that to upstream [1] as well. Since it's demo
UI "only", the upstream isn't developing it much but probably accepts
patches. I've a patch I need that adds support for letters ä and ö
[2], it wouldn't hurt to include that as well.

[2] http://users.tkk.fi/~tajyrink/moko/zhone-umlaut2.patch

Then maybe [3] for reading addressbook entries also from a .vcf file
wouldn't hurt those users that are only using SMS contacts. I like the
ability to copy, backup and edit entries directly in a file.

Anyway likewise, feel free to use :)

[debian] minor enhancements

2010-01-11 Thread Neil Jerram
I recently announced some minor enhancements to zhone,
openmoko-panel-plugin and auxlaunch.  FWIW I've now pushed these to
gitorious:

http://gitorious.org/stuff-for-openmoko-freerunner/debian-usr-bin
and
http://gitorious.org/stuff-for-openmoko-freerunner/debian-usr-share-pyshared

They include a couple further changes since the previous announcements:
- In zhone, keep current SMS selected when returning from the SMS
display screen.
- Following power button press, cut out the unnecessary "really lock
screen" step.

Please feel free to use / incorporate / build on in any way.

Regards,
   Neil
