I would really like to see the basic applications from Maemo in Debian (contacts, calendar, conversations, ...), since I really like the way they are intergrated in Maemo. The problem is, that most of them are closed source, so a rewrite would be needed :( The good thing is, that some things have already been rewritten by the Community SSU project and can be packaged. See [0]. If you'r interested in Bluetooth you may also want to find out what's needed @ kernel level and why it's not in the mainline kernel. In short: There is more than enough work for you. This is currently done on by me: * Get touchscreen platform code into mainline kernel, update Debian patch * Push mainline kernel developers to include the HSI framework needed for the N900's modem (It looks like it will be included in linux 3.3 [1]). * Package new omap kms driver [2]. The Xorg driver is already in Debian as xserver-xorg-video-omap. I will probably prepare a DMKS package until it is in the mainline kernel (hopefully in linux 3.3, too).
