[Savannah-hackers] savannah.gnu.org: submission of onHandPC app kit

A package was submitted to savannah.gnu.org.
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden


Dario Rodriguez <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: onHandPC app kit
System name: onhandpc-kit
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

My project aims to create a full range of free applications (under GPL license 
for the programs, LGPL for the libraries) for the onhandpc computer-watch 
gadget. Much like the Opie project does for the iPaq. The programs are to be 
developed using the GNU toolchain (using gcc as an MN10L200 cross-compiler) in 
Linux.

For a description of the onhandpc (the hardware on which the applications 
generated in this project will run) or its posibilities, you can visit the 
following links:

   http://www.matsucomusa.com
   The official site for the onHandPC

   http://www.pconhand.com
   An onHandPC fan site (biased towards windows users)

   http://grusched.sourceforge.net
   Robert Zunino\'s schedule sync app for Linux

Despite it\'s incredible hardware, the software that comes with the watch is
just usable, but very dependant on a PC to do the housekeeping of the
information. This project wants to concentrate efforts to make the watch 
useable by it\'s own as a computer, using free software. 

Primary goals:
      - A text editor (almost done)
      - Enhanced addressbook (designing phase)
      - Enhanced schedule (designing phase)
      - Games: Mastermind, Othello, Fuego (done)
      - A Linux simulation of the onHandPC implementation of the API to develop 
entirely in the PC (almost done, using Linux GGI)

The application comes by the need for a site to host the project, as it phases 
out from a one-man project to a community project.

It does not exist yet but I\'m working on it.

Regards,
Dario
