This is the wiki's master application directory for the Openmoko smartphones. It can not be exhaustive, as new things are showing up every week.

The purpose of this page is not to be exhaustive, but simply to provide an easy shelter where everybody can add links for Openmoko-related programs. Applications, scripts, projects, distributions, images at all maturity levels are welcome. Please limit each entry to one line. You may create a new wiki page or just provide an outgoing link.

The directory just provides a short explanation for each entry. It is organized in sections. We also maintain separate detailed "List of X applications" wiki pages for each section.

'''Please note that not all of these applications are in a finished format yet.''' When they are complete you will be able to download them via a menu on the phone.    At the moment, following a recipe of commands in the console window may be needed to install.  This will of course improve with time :-)

'''Please also note that there is some risk in installing developing software or software from an unknown source!'''  However, if the license for the code is an open source license then you have the comfort that anyone in the Openmoko community has the ability to check the operation of the software and thus malicious or vulnerable code is likely to be detected quickly.

This is the wiki's master application directory for the Openmoko smartphones. It can not be exhaustive, as new things are showing up every week. If you are looking for a specific application and it is not listed there, please add it. You may use this directory to create a wiki page for a new application, or just provide an outgoing list.

The directory just provides a short explanation for each entry. It is organized in sections. We also maintain separate detailed "List of X applications" wiki pages for each section. These pages includes screenshots, installation instructions, availability and more. If you add an application in this page, please also update that "List of X applications" page.
