[maemo-developers] saying hello to Hildon

[From: Paul Bloch]

Hi guys,
So I'm starting to go through the tutorials and how-tos to familiarize
myself with how maemo is stacked.  I was thinking about improvements
to the interface experience and I'm wondering if it would be possible
to at all experiment with a port of Enlightenment as the window
manager to take advantage of their libraries for effects as it is also
a lightweight window manager.  Secondly I was wondering if anyone has
experimented with porting compiz fusion.  I don't know what this would
take, perhaps hacking down the size.  I'd like to see things get much
more "fluid" feeling and elegant, reducing clicks and providing
appropriate audio and visual feedback to the user that helps generate
a pleasant experience on such a small screen.

Also, are there any nokia n810 modders out there?  I'd love to see
what some people have done. I'm considering looking into the
possibility of adding a second screen to mine if it's possible and
changing around the ports and buttons.   I'm getting my fabrication
kit set up so pretty soon I'll be able to make custom plastic forms.
Hopefully within a few months I'll have something to show.

I also sent out an message to the list that had an image attached, a
mockup.  Can whoever is moderating release it to the list?  It has a
cool example of an interface that I made for the Mixxx.org project if
a port was made for Maemo.  It's mostly inspiration for any maemo
hackers out there that would want to work with Mixxx.org to get a port
made and tested.  Touch-based DJ mixing is already here, on your maemo
tablet.

Cheers,

Paul
