What Program Do People Want To See Coded? Options

[Capn_Fish]

I've been bored lately, and am looking for a project to work on (from scratch, I have yet to master working on a team). What ideas do people have?

Guidelines:

-Not necessarily Zaurus- or N810-specific
-Nothing 3D
-Nothing TOO massive (like a desktop environment or web browser, strangely enough I don't feel as though a game would be "massive")
-No "contribute to existing projects" requests, please (unless you feel excruciatingly, and I do mean excruciatingly, strongly that that's the way to go)
-Preferably only requiring one or two external toolkits/libs

Notes:

-It will be a C/C++ app
-The only external lib I really have experience with is SDL, a little FLTK. I'm willing to learn to use common libs like ogg/vorbis
-There are no guarantees that this program will ever be {started|completed|stable} or will {follow your idea exactly|follow anybody's idea at all}.

Thanks.

Heh... i don't think we really need any new apps. But what we do need is someone to improve the existing ones. I'd like to see touch scrolling in xpdf and xchm for instance. the pdf viewer in cacko had touch scrolling so maybe you could use that code as a reference...

We really need new control panel apps written for speed. the existing python based apps are too slow.
If you are REALLY bored then do this --> http://www.directfb.org/wiki/index.php/The_DirectFB_Desktop
That would surely help the entire embedded community

Try using the middle mouse button and dragging...
