Nintendo DS Wifi Bounty

Tuesday, December 27th, 2005
The Nintendo DS WiFi Bounty is a project to generate freely available, license
unencumbered internet connectivity libraries for the Nintendo DS, for use with a
portable C or C compiler (primarily GCC.)
Bounty: $3,010.45 (and counting)
Success hinges around distributing source which can achieve TCP or UDP
connections over IP to a wireless router through the NDS custom wireless
networking hardware, as well as documentation for the hardware and a tiny
demonstration application which verifies two-way communication with another
TCP or UDP enabled device (presumably a PC.)
Programming slills: Portable C or C, the ability to develop embedded software,
a familiarity with 802-group wireless technologies, and a familiarity with IP-
based communications protocols.
Visit the DS Wifi Bounty site for more information

GNOME Bounty – Optimization

Monday, December 19th, 2005

GNOME has a number of open source bounties available for completion, ranging in difficulty and payout. The following Optimization project is worth $100:

Add image data to the icon cache

For the GTK 2.6 release, a memory mappable icon cache was developed. This allows us to avoid scanning lots of directories on the startup of every application. However, one thing it does not do is to store the actual icon data in a shared file. This means that common images (consider the “x” on a close button) are duplicated many times.

GNOME Bounty

Monday, December 19th, 2005

GNOME has a number of open source bounties available for completion, ranging in difficulty and payout. The following project is worth $300:

Drag and Drop between Gnome and Firefox

Currently dragging and dropping back and forth between nautilus and firefox is very problematic. Bookmarks and copying actions are easily confused with surprising results.

What we’d like to see: Dragging a bookmark .desktop file to Firefox should open the url the bookmark file contains, not the bookmark file itself. Dragging an http: uri from firefox to the desktop should ask you if you prefer to download the file or make a bookmark point to the location. If a desktop bookmark is created the resulting .desktop file should specify a hyperlink icon (or possibly use the shortcut icon if the link points to an html page).
