==== Description: ====
Blackherd is a project to create a collection of minimalistic GUI programs
written in Python. The project aims somewhere between of set of useful tools
and a minimalistic desktop environment. It is targetting embedded devices
running GNU/Linux, provide suitale environment and suitable tools for devices
with touchscreens (like Neo 1973 and Neo Freerunner). The project currently
contains a task panel, file browser, menu browser, half-baked calculator and
half-baked dictionary tool, and the plans include things like picture viewer
and digital camera control tool.


==== Other Software Required: ====
Python, http://python.org/, PSFL
PyQt4, http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/pyqt/intro, disjunction
of GPLv2 and GPLv3
pyxdg, http://www.freedesktop.org/~lanius/, LGPLv2 (might be dropped in the
future)
dbus and dbus-python, http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus, bindings
are under X11 license and the daemon under GPLv2
libX11, http://x.org/, X11 license

Possible future dependancies (I list all that are needed for any of the ideas
I have for the project):
Freesmartphone.org framework, http://freesmartphone.org/ GPLv2 or later
Telepathy, http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/, LGPLv2.1 and GPLv2, still
haven't researched
twisted, http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/, X11 license
pybluez (and bluez), http://code.google.com/p/pybluez/, GPLv2 (any tools
using the module would be GPLv2 or later)
Some PTP library or application (libptp2, ptpcam or gphoto2). All of them are
free software, I would most likely be calling them, and not using them as a
module or library


==== Other Comments: ====
Empty files and one-liner I do not consider elligable for copyright do not
have copyright notices. I hope that if this is unappropriate, this won't lead
to rejection of the project, but a notice to me to correct it before uploading
files.
