</div>I also voted for you being here, although my comment was and is:<br>
<br>
I really think liqbase should concentrate all efforts in doing what does<br>
best: taking notes combined with produced or captured images. My vote<br>
goes here hoping Gary gets more developers for that core purpose.</blockquote><div><br>this is exactly what is happening :) <br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
<br>
Since Gary will probably not be convinced about concentrating in 2 tasks<br>
and forgetting about there rest until they are top notch... liqbase will<br>
surely benefit from an architecture where a core engine works together<br>
with independent plugins.</blockquote><div><br>thats exactly what it does.<br>a libliqbase module can either sit inside the playground or be compiled and run independently.<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
<br>
Then we will help as much as possible Gary & co fine tuning the<br>
'sketching' and 'capturing' plugins, so Maemo end user don't have to<br>
bother about the intermediate menus and the micro-demos/features<br>
currently flying around the core purposethat has brought this little<br>
success to liqbase.</blockquote><div><br>sketching is key to what I personally want to do :) <br><br>I have said numerous times, every single stroke is important and I want to make the most out of them.<br><br>To that end though because of my innovative approach I am caught in a bit of a chicken and egg problem.<br>
<br>interlinked key features for the sketching, photos and note taking (tagging, adding titles and notes on the media, simple things like asking for an email address or server name to send something to..) all require a huge amount of hidden background framework to allow such things.<br>

<br>Having Zach helping to looking at a network related application and helping to cleanup and standardize my framework will hopefully allow liqbase to expand beyond the confines of my little device and to be usable by other developers.<br>
<br>I've never built anything like this before (and hopefully never will again!) but I am determined to make our nokia internet tablets shine!<br><br><br>gary<br><br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
