(trick > question, bugzilla of course). The GPE bugzilla is the best place to record suggestions, if you are willing to deal with the overhead of that. Second best is to join the GPE mailing list and make suggestions on that. Third best is here. > b) Ideas. Not bugs. Why a bug tracker... One man's bug is another man's enhancement. Having bugs and feature enhancements in the same system makes it easy to see both and move an item between the two categories. It allows people to do things like add comments explaining why something should really be considered a bug not an enhancement and should be given a higher priority. Also, it saves them getting lost and gives new developers a good place to go to see what sorts of things people need (both bugs and enhancements). > c) This is n800 specific.

I did not develop any of the GUI -- I am really not a GUI guy (give me a kernel device driver to play with for preference -- much more straightforward). In GPE my main interests are Maemo packaging and synchronisation. But I fix bugs sometimes as well. It would really help if people could record their ideas and suggestions in the bugzilla, possibly after discussion here on on the GPE list. There are very few active developers currently (in particular, the guy who did most of the work on gpe-calendar has left the project) so new features are likely to wait a while. On the other hand, there have been a couple of people expressing interest in contributing to the project in the last couple of months and maybe one of these ideas would be something they would like to pick up.
