Sure thing, you will need an alpha and even the beta SDK to really know
all the details of what you want to do.

However, you don't need an SDK to think of an existing or a new project
that could impress real users with the elements already known about Maemo 5.

We can invest the time on brainstorming, proposals and selection now,
warming up motors as time permits. The selected projects can go ahead
with planning, we can organize the support agreed with them and when the
SDK goes out the pure development can start.

Guess / bet / dream. But most importantly, propose.

We do know what Fremantle brings so if a proposal goes far beyond we
simply won't select it. Or we might select it anyway since 95% of the
cool stuff might be indeed feasible.

Don't be obsessed by our selection. The fact of having a project defined
publicly aspiring to become a Fremantle Star is more important! You show
your intentions and you might get contributions and synergies from others.
