Feel free to write here. Also put your name and details here, if you already want to help on something.
If you are able to enter something in table form, all the better :) Otherwise, just post it somewhere on the bottom and I'm sure someone will fill it in :)
| Idea | Status of Implementation (incl. date) | Idea contributor | Description/Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kernel support for the N900's IR port | |||
| Fully functional and working LED | vkvraju | Useful to notify when a call comes. Notify while charging (USB/Wall) and many more such uses
Jukka: This would be nice to have, maybe something for the community to work on. Let's make sure the enablers are there in DevEdition. | |
| Kernel support for FM Radio & Transmitter | vkvraju | ||
| Keyboad Backlight LED | tswindell | ||

|---|---|---|---|
| TV-out functionality in UI | Backend works (kernel), trivial change needed for fbdev-sgx | Carsten Munk | * Jukka: Yes, definitely let's try. (try: 'xrandr --output TV --auto' and 'echo pal > /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/display1/timings', worked already with a custom kernel) |
| Userspace support for the N900's IR port | |||
| Easy way to enable/select USB mass storage mode | Control panel applet with switch between usb networking and mass storage would be fine. | ||
| Userspace support for FM Radio & Transmitter | vkvraju | ||
| Device screen calibration support | vkvraju | Jukka: Please describe why this would be needed?
vkvraju: I thought calibration is a must for all touch-based (especially resistive screens) devices, no? N800 and N900 are the only touch-devices I have and both have screen calibration | |
| Device screen brightness control | vkvraju | Preferably in the control panel.
Jukka: First of all, let's get backlight control working to save battery. Fine-tuning of brightness could be part of that work. |

|---|---|---|---|
| Easily install apps/packages | qgil | any UI to ease this?
PackageKit UI (timoph and timakima committed to implementing it) Jukka: Can we also have the OS update itself against (daily|weekly) DE repos? | |
| Easy installer application in the N900 repos | alien | similar to NITDroid. Maybe we could reuse theirs, and enhance it to support installing both NITDroid and MeeGo on the same SD card, if it's large enough. | |
| Dual-boot menu similar to NITDroid's | alien | I guess this could be implemented in u-boot or could reuse their multiboot stuff. Maybe this way we could even triple-boot NITDroid, MeeGo and Maemo5 from the same menu (alien) | |

|---|---|---|---|
| Latest PySide (Python for Qt) 1.0 or PyQt installed by default | vkvraju | as most/majority of the applications use python
thp: We definitely need this. There are packages available from http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/PySide_Binaries_MeeGo but only for armv7l - would probably only need a recompilation in OBS + promotion to/inclusion in the N900 DE image | |
| Update to gtk3 included in DE | |||
| Idea | Status of Implementation (incl. date) | Idea contributor | Description/Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Add/Merge to contacts | vkvraju | an unknown number from the call history | |
| Block a number (from calling/SMS) | vkvraju | from the call history or contacts | |
| Speaker/hands-free support | vkvraju | for calling and listening to music
Jukka: Hands-free should be working already, and speaker might be workable. | |
| Creating groups in contacts | vkvraju | Support for groups in contacts (QtContacts?)
Jukka: We are using meego-handset People application by default, which doesn't have this feature in MeeGo 1.2. Not for DevEdition at this point. | |
| Sending SMS to groups (created in contacts) | vkvraju | also: sending to random but multiple contacts at once
Jukka: We are using meego-handset People application by default, which doesn't have this feature in MeeGo 1.2. Not for DevEdition at this point. | |
| Switch off one or more radios/chips | vkvraju | (FM Receiver, Transmitter, Bluetooth, WLAN, 2G/3G, GPS/A-GPS) and also the ability to change their modes via settings | |
| Terminal emulator with touchscreen support | few onscreen buttons(TAB, ESC, etc..) like in maemo | ||
| Vcard import for people app | lcuk already had instructions how to do this, it's possible via terminal. | ||
| take screenshots easily | rantom | For some reason, this feature was dropped, and I personally think it is a time to bring it back. So many bug-reports that'd really need screenshots but no easy way of taking them.. | |
| Add file-browser | rantom | Reasonable projects to look a from Maemo 5 would be CuteExplorer and FileBox | |
| Making the lock screen more powerful | rantom | I suggest, that there'd also be shown the current connections, for example Bluetooth and Wlan. I, for one, tend to forget those on and checking those quickly from lock-screen would be welcome feature.
This would need eager contributors working on the current lock app, so "easyfix"... who's interested? | |
| Show status of headphone/headset plugged | Add an icon indicator to show if headphones or headset is plugged in - this could also be visible on lockscreen - usecase: unlocking the phone and being sure that music won't play out loudly | ||
| Take screenshot with Ctrl-Shift-P | mece | Implement the global shortcut Ctrl-Shift-P to take a screenshot and place it in a predefined location | |
| Idea | Status of Implementation (incl. date) | Idea contributor | Description/Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| New theme | Cool new theme (or several) that is special to this DevEdition, and sets the look and feel apart from the stock MeeGo.
Jukka: Also, have own sample-media, including some test data for Calendar, People etc. | ||
| Include uxlaunch/uxselect | for switching between UXs (eg. run XBMC) | ||
| New community UI/UX framework | See the proposal: http://wiki.meego.com/Yet_Another_GUI_Project |
| Idea | Status of Implementation (incl. date) | Idea contributor | Description/Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Find solution to encourage & guide developers | Find a solution to encourage & guide developers in open to utilize traditionally "grey" areas like DSP and ISP. Afaik both have enough openness to split up oss/non-oss work and have them running side by side. See felipec's comments irc:meego-arm/log.09-17-2010/15:11. | ||
| Progress Indicators for Status | Let's have traffic lights on the wiki similar to http://www.nitdroid.com/index.php?title=N900 | ||
| Use colors for tables to indicate status? | friesoft | friesoft: This may look too crowded/could become unreadble - just an idea... |
