[maemo-developers] GSOC Project: eBook Reader

[From: Oliver Haag]

Hi,

I'm studying electrotechnics and informatics and the University of Applied 
Sciences Kempten (Germany). Since I've got a rather easy semester this time I 
would like to participate in the GSOC this year. I've got pretty good 
experience with Qt and C++ and would be interested in realizing an eBook 
Reader for Maemo. And yeah, I'm a N900 user of course ;)

Okular should be a pretty good base, it supports many formats and is Qt-based 
(Hope there aren't too many KDE-dependencies...). I'll take a closer look at 
the source the next days.

There's another eBook-Software in the repos called FBReader, maybe that is 
already known but wanted to write it here anyway in case it wasn't seen. I've 
tried it out and it doesn't seem to be touch-friendly but it looks like it 
supports more eBook-only-formats, maybe these could be ported (When the other 
things are running fine :D).

@VDVsx: Since you added the project to the list in the wiki, would you be 
interested in mentoring it?

Greetings,
Oliver Haag
