Port Remuco to the N900 (maemo)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What feature or enhancement would you like to see in Remuco?
A port of remuco client to maemo 5 (Nokia N900)This would mean that the 
client would have to be rewritten to C/C++ or python. because the maemo the 
OS of the N900 does not support java

Please describe a use case that motivates this feature:
Maemo is an open source project which is truly Linux in every way, based on 
Debian Linux. It has a very strong community and it would be really cool if 
remuco could be ported to such an open platform

There is a GitHub fork for writing a Python client for Remuco:
http://github.com/octplane/remuco

This might be a good starting point for an N900 client.

Did anything happen regarding that topic yet? Is there something to test? From 
the
provided link I get some python files which could be meant to run on the N900, 
but
they seem not to be finished (at least a get a lot of error messages).

That fork hasn't been committed to for a few days now. Why don't you post some 
logs
and we'll  try to help you with the debugging?

Agree with igor, we can't do much without more specific problem information.

Besides that it might be a good idea to contact the owner of the fork at GutHub 
and
ask about the progress. He probably is more motivated to proceed his work when 
people
indeed ask for it :)

I would love to see the the Remuco client on the n810. The n900 is a little out 
of
reach for me, but you can pick up an n810 for little money, and have a really
flexiable device.

Which UI toolkit is used on the Maemo, GTK or QT? Anyone experienced in UI
development on the Maemo or willing to do that? I could help out with a Python 
based
back-end (i.e. connection handling, message transfer etc.).

maemo for now is based on gtk. but moving forward its would be based on Qt. 
Right now 
maemo5 on the N900 supports but Qt and GTK and the maemo6 (now called meego) 
would 
also support GTK. hence its safer to use Qt as toolkit for the development of 
any GUI 
for remuco for maemo. I am completely a noob at programing I really wish I can 
help.

I really wish I had some skill in programming but I dont. I am just trying to 
learn. 
anyway whichever you decided to settle on u can always use pyQt or pyGTK

I got the following error when I ran the python client code on Ubuntu and on my 
N900 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "remuco_twisted.py", line 3, in <module>
    from twisted.internet import reactor, stdio
ImportError: No module named twisted.internet

I am a complete noob at programming am I doing anything wrong?

It looks like Twisted is not installed. Installing it using Synaptic (Ubuntu) 
may fix
this. Sorry, I can't give much support here as I've not written the code. The 
author
said he was planning to write a web-based client for Remuco (which could be 
used on
any device with a web browser) but it looks like he stopped working on this for 
now.

I guess the fork you've tried is not in a functional state yet. Maybe you should
contact the fork's author directly: http://github.com/octplane
