Update on Maemo 5 Xournal
Aniello Del Sorbo has posted an update on both Xournal's progress and, more generally, his current activity in the Maemo/MeeGo community. First of all, I hoped to have more spare time to dedicate to the completion of the Maemo version of Xournal. The latest version in extras-devel still need some fixing and at least a bunch of features before pushing it to Extras. [...] So, the plan is to complete the Maemo version, push it to Extras and then start working on the MeeGo version. [...] Only big issue is, again, time. If you're interesting in helping out, download the source and contact Anidel.
facebrick developer stops his development
The facebrick developer, Robin Burchell, has announced his intentions to stop working on the application: As many of you might have noticed in recent times, facebrick has ceased to work. This is (obviously) unfortunate, but mostly out of my control. I have attempted to look into this, without any luck, and at this point, I've decided to make it public that I have no desire to further work on Facebrick. Facebook seem to have changed something on their API, which has caused Facebrick to cease to function, with an error about invalid source IP on the client end (but this is actually misleading: the real problem is that the session proxy appears to no longer work, constantly returning error 100 - invalid parameter). Robin cites his reduced usage of Facebook, dissatisfaction with Facebook's attitudes, and poor developer documentation as reasons for ending his development efforts. If you're interested in helping to continue the development of facebrick, see the thread linked at the end of the blog post.
