- Emacs phone services on top of dbus - touch and accellerometer based gui for nearly blind people - funky gui that changes every week for teenagers(Ok, I dont really want to develop this but i'd like to have it)
Here are some ideas of mine: - get emacs23 working, so one can use the dbus support of emacs 23. - make a dialer compatible with bbdb, and later addressbook.el - make a gnus backend for sms - a symbol chooser keyboard, much like you hinted at below. Heres my take on the idea: - start the "keyboard"(an emacs app) in a particular context(lets say m-x now, but its the same for adresses or whatever) - (1) show all unique prefixes in this context - (2) choose a prefix - (3) repeat from (1) with the chosen prefix, exit on a terminal symbol

WIFI http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1860: Give the wifi driver more love http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1902: Make the wifi work with one-character long ESSID http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/2030: Let the wifi also connect with WEP networks

(Only if it's not qtopia related) http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1718: Finally fix the python-pygtk program http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1267: Fix the echo problem http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1802: Don't let the partition table of the sd card be corrupted http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1597: Don't let cpu do nothing and still eating 30% http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1315: Keep xglamo at the same performance http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1841: Solve the WSOD, so openmoko isn't the next windows
the users. 2 - Solve the illume resume problems. They have been talked about over and over, but unfortunately the information is scattered and imprecise. the tickets themselves have misleading info (I should know, I helped confuse you...), so maybe this deserves a new single ticket, where everyone contributes with more exact information; 3 - Get the wifi driver corrected, so that it does not create link association and stability and problems; 4 - Finish/validate implementation of the networking stack (all the way up to resolv.conf and friends); 5 - Merge the GPRS muxer into the stable distro, so that it works out of the box; 6 - Integrate the main applications with the power management: if QPE wants to index the whole friggin' filesystem right after boot, then give it time to do so before going into suspend; if you don't, it just bogs down the CPU for many suspend/resume cycles, creating all sorts of problems, and we don't know what is going on... 7 - Accelerate Qt applications - they respond so slowly that a normal user will shoot itself in the foot everyday (i.e. pushing the "Answer" button twice because it didn't appear to respond, effectively killing the call; or taking the phone to the ear after pushing "Answer" and having it rind loudly one last time in the ear); 8 - Work with the people of FDOM to integrate the best workarounds and hacks - they did the work already, just use it. 9 - Get all the bluetooth support organized out-of-the-box. I haven't played with it in a long time, but it looked like black voodoo to get a simple pairing and OBEX exchange going... forget about PAN!... 10 - Put a "speaker" button on the dialer app. This is my only GUI desire for now...
