= Future Software Ideas =

Phone Number Geoclue backend
* Not sure how geo clue is designed
** If just give gps location, could do that
** If give native backend location and can convert from/to location and GPS, then cool because it can work with any contact
* Would be nice if could express how stale the data is

Use contact locality for geoclue backend
* bluewire
* linklocal

Meego Touch Input Framework Plugin
* pie menus
* others?

libfolks backends
* csv, vcard, google contacts, lds.org

QtMobility Calendar backends
* rss, google calendar, lds.org

Chirematic
* View the world as if you have different vision impairments
** Initially (and maybe only) do color blind filters

telepathy-bluewire
* Connection Manager for Telepathy that goes over Bluetooth
* Implement the full range of telepathy support
** Re-use existing blue tooth technologies as much as possible
** Use XMPP for the rest
*** Should I instead just make an XMPP server that really goes over bluetooth?

Another GV CM
* Be a proxy for another CM
** Would I have to limit myself to SIP or could I proxy anything?
* Would know exactly when calls are rejected for voicemail
* Would be able to bind the outbound GV channel to the inbound channel, effectively making auto-pickup

Pickaxe
* A variable precision slide-rule inspired after my Pickett n600-es
* Zoomed out as all scales and has 2 significant figures
* Can select scales
** Shows the results of the operation (like for C and D "X*Y=Z")
*** Only shows significant figures, no decimal place
* Zoom level selected by desired significant figures
** How to chose zoom level and zoom area?
*** Swiping moves the slide part
*** Would it be weird to have swiping the non-sliding part be to actually pan?

100 Push Ups Challenge
* Would require permission for trademarks/copyrights
* Support multiple "profiles"
* Publishes reminders to calendar
* Workflow
** Start the Challenge
*** Allows entry of number of push ups / age
**** If in small range, suggest alternate form
**** If in high range, kick user out
*** Allow user to select the day of the week for D1, D2, D3, and Test
** Controls
*** Post-Pone a day
*** Repeat a week
** DayN
*** Shows recommended push ups and where at in series
*** Timer for breaks
*** Can enter how many in the max run one does
** Test
*** Enter how many did
