Bug 334809 – abstract for a new overlay named wiidea

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Marco Clocchiatti 2010-08-27 11:58:56 UTC]

My name is Marco Clocchiatti and I'm a gentoo user from a long time.

I'm proposing myself as proxie-mantainer of an overlay named wiidea,
cointaining a collection of software related to Nintendo wiimote
hardware, and I'm looking for a committer.

These are the principal references for this software:
http://code.google.com/p/ardesia/
http://github.com/pnegre/python-whiteboard

Principal packages in the overlay are:

- x11-apps/ardesia, a software for color annotation on the screen;
- x11-apps/python-whiteboard, a graphical interface to the Nintendo
infrared camera, to detect movements of an infrared pointer pen.
- app-accessibility/florence-ramble, an extensible scalable virtual
keyboard for GNOME.

Other softwars are:

- app-misc/cwiid, from http://abstrakraft.org/cwiid.
needed because of this bug: http://github.com/abstrakraft/cwiid/issues#issue/7
no other updated gentoo ebuild seems exist.

Minor packages are:
- x11-apps/curtain
- x11-apps/spotlighter
- x11-apps/magnifier (a fork from http://sourceforge.net/projects/magnifier ).

A copy of this email is sent in ccn to Pietro Pillolli, a developer of
ardesia group.
A unofficial version of wiidea overlay is available at this address:
http://www.cloc3.net/wiidea/wiidea.tar.bz2

I hope in your feedback.

regards,
Marco Clocchiatti
