Thanks ! you just encouraged me to work on the next release of tichy. Starting other applications from tichy is indeed a problem, but there is an experimental applet -contribution from Michael "Goodwill"- that allow to do that. I want to improve this for the next release. There is currently no way to switch between fullscreen and normal mode, I will try to implement this, shouldn't be a problem. The keyboard needs a lot of work too, it is still too slow (I have some idea why), and as you say, not very good for switching modes. btw : for some reason, tichy is faster on debian. I think this is because the ipkg I did didn't compile the C file with optimisation on. I will also try to solve this. All in all, that would roughly be my TODO list for next release : * Redo the Service system (it is too slow and complicated right now.) * Improve the user interface code (too slow as well, and a little bit messy.) * Add a GTK backend (that is working already, I just need to make it easy to configure) * If possible, improve the keyboard. * Being able to start external applications. * Start to work on tests suits, using py.test [0] module. As I said, I can't really predict how much time I will have to work on it, so I prefer not to give any date for the next release. Thanks again for your inputs ! cheers, Guillaume [0] http://codespeak.net/py/dist/test.html ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Tichy now hosted on google code + release 1.0.0
So after using it for a while I can say that I'm impressed. When I first saw tichy on FSO distribution it was slow and I thought nothing would come out of it. Thanks for proving me wrong! I like it's distribution independent approach - It has it's own keyboard and graphical toolkit - must be a lot of work! The only thing is that while in fullscreen mode you can run nothing except for tichy. I didn't find a way to switch between full screen mode and normal one. Also, can you add easier case change for the keyboard? Ruight now if I wan to write uppercase I have to go through all keyboard to get back to small letters. But in overall I like it, and I see that it has made a lot of progress.

Re: Tichy now hosted on google code + release 1.0.0
Hello! Thanks for your work! I have a problem - when I start tichy it gives me just black screen :( I had some of the packages installed from anstrom repository, so it might be a problem. But as I remember from previous tries - I had black screen too. Is it treatable? Tomorrow I will try to install it on clean and fresh SHR distro and see what it gives me.

Tichy now hosted on google code + release 1.0.0
Hello all, (Some of you may know me from my previous openmoko address : char...@openmoko.org) Since I don't work for openmoko anymore, and since I had some free time in my hands recently, I restarted the tichy project (previously hosted on openmoko public git) The project is now hosted on google code [0]. From the web site we can see some screenshots. For the history, tichy is the project that was used as the base for the paroli project [1], officially supported by openmoko. Both projects are python frameworks to write applets for openmoko phones. I decide to restart tichy because in my opinion paroli has forked too much, and now both projects are having very different goals. So why I think people should give tichy a try : * It can run on debian, SHR, and FSO (even thouhg there is currently a problem with the installation on FSO) * it is using the Dbus framework for all the phone applets. * It is very simple to modify it, almost everything is written in python, with some small parts in cython. * It can run on the desktop as well. * There is a release (1.0.0) [2] The first release 1.0.0 [2] contains the source package, a debian packages, and an ipkg package that can be installed on SHR (should also work on FSO, but I see that python-pygame package is currently missing from the FSO feeds.) I will keep working on the project if I think there are interested people. I don't know how much time I will allocate to this, so I can make no statement about plans or future releases. Of course contributions are welcomes. I have to admit I didn't test it so much (I personally only use it for the chinese learning and dictionary applets), if people experience any problems, please let me know and I'll make a bug fix release. I would also be interested to know if the SHR, debian, or FSO people are interested for a collaboration to add tichy in there distributions.
