Well I have had yet another person volunteer to help with development. Jakub Chrzanowski will be gettimg me most of the way to milestone 1.2 by adding a generic preference activity. I hope to have milestone 1.2 done by the end of this weekend, along with some major code cleanup.

All development will now officially be happening on github! See https://github.com/DJGHOSTS3V3N/slidehome.

Sorry for the Silence

I've started up work. Just a little about me. I am a High School technology/pre-engineering teacher. I have been on summer break until this week. Summer break gave me a lot of time to work, and let me get this project started. Beyond work, I am working on my Masters in IT. I will now be doing more of my work on weekends so development might be a bit slower. I've been very happy with the interest in this project and look forward where it will go.

Now that's out of the way...My goal this weekend is to build the preferences screen and start to build the favorites scroll-view.

I also now have two more people helping me. Dan Lundmark and Nisha Holloway will be helping out with the graphic design. Their first goal is build an icon for SlideHome, if you have any ideas please reply with them.

Yay for Open Source

I have had a great out-pouring of support for this project this weekend and actually have some help. GHOSTS3V3N has set up a project page at git hub (https://github.com/DJGHOSTS3V3N/slidehome) and will start to help with development. Another person, Rafa Gisbert, has offered to help with a Spanish translation. Finally I might have somebody willing to help with UX and design elements, I will post more as I get more info. This is great news as I will be starting up at work (High School Teacher) this week which will eat into my late night development time.

 I hope to clean up Milestone 1 today, and start work on Milestone 2. I am giving up on trying to save the AppsList to storage for now, as I don't want to get hung up on a small detail early in the project. I also think I might see about building some UML diagrams to convey my greater plans for the project.
