minimo special effort (part II) - update

After releasing 3 RC .debs of the maemo/nokia 770 minimo port, and having got lots of feedback, bugs and suggestion, I decided to blog about them. Follows what I think are the most relevant issues to be done:

• fix browsing through security site (PARTIALLY DONE - mail.yahoo.com(.xx) works with some magic tricks only).
• implement an easy way to leave fullscreen mode (DONE - via bottombar).
• improve input fields and virtual keyboard interaction.
• autocomplete widget forces you to click twice to remove focus from it (maybe this is no device specific bug, I have to file this into bugzilla)
  
• improving my way of packing up: set up a repository for minimo and its dependecies missing on maemo 2.0 image.
  
• make all patches available asap.

• implement 770 Hardware keys support (e.g. ZOOM_IN crashes it)
  
• implement timers to context sensitive menus (it works only on x86 through right-button mouse click - have to file this as a bug).
• implement command line parser support bug 334019
• implement dbus service for minimo. It would avoid having more then one instance of it running at the same time (btw, dbus-xpcom binding has been announced recently).
• fix fs browsing support (it crashes when I type /usr or /etc - although it works for /etf/fstab)

• improve ssr (css file) - it makes rendering extremely ugly if on SSR mode (disabled)
  
• make default font bigger (possible adding an observer on preference system) (workarounded)
• fix segfault on window closing.
• maybe implement a portrait mode view ???
  

read - critical
blue - that'd be great
black - I could live without it

Other issues:

- gmaps misvisualizing - works for me, though.
- lacking of svg, mathml and cairo.
- testing rendering of some Chinese, Japanese and Arabian encoded websites (ah.sima ???)

any thinkg else ? just mail me.

I wish to have any fund on this :p, after all funding means time !
