The Mnemosyne Project

More info request in documentation or history.

Asked by Eugenio

Hi,

Fantastic program and really great work!

I was looking at both the web site documentation http://www.mnemosyne-proj.org/help/index.php and other places and would like to suggest that a brief description of the development environment being used be posted.

Just the briefest mentions are made of Python and PyQt, as I was interested in seeing the potential for a port to iPhone or iTouch, some info there would help. Or perhaps in the FAQ section?

Best regards,
Eugenio

A native port to iPhone is unlikely at the moment, because there is no Python for these devices. What is planned is a web-based interface, which you could then access from your iPhone's browser.

(If you want to request a certain other feature, it's best to do that using the 'blueprint' section on this website.)

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the answer, my first comment was really about the possibility of adding more info on the dev env used, etc. as it would probably help to get more people into the project (if that is what you want) once the 2.0 hurdle is covered.

Concerning the iTouch (or iPhone), please be aware that there is a Phython bridge and people have already begun to work on that.

Also, there is a iPhone simulator available that is the better solution for a developer rather than syncing all the time. iPhone not needed at first... http://developer.apple.com/iphone/program/

Perhaps someone else will want to take this up? ;)

I'll use the bp function for other requests.

Thanks, again,
Eugenio

Once the 2.0 codebase stabilises a bit more, I will post a number of tasks
people can help with to the development mailing list. Feel free to check this
out.

I'm not sure what you mean by more info on the dev env, besides that the
program uses PyQt?

I guess this is for jailbroken phones? For a jailbroken phone, I see a
possibility, but for a native version, one should rewrite the entire core in
ObjC, I think.

But I guess you still need a Mac.

I think that's the way this will happen, as I don't own such a device myself,
and therefore I don't have the motivation to start work on this.

Cheers,

Peter
