[OSM-dev] New mapping Application for mobile devices: Help wanted

Hello,

I've written a program called Open CityMap.
It is programmed in Qt for Qtopia compatible devices. (unfortunately this
wasn't accepted as GSOC application)

Some of the features:
    * GPLv2 license.
    * Can display OSM data (XML)
    * Can display OSM tiles (thanks to QMapControl)
    * Can record GPX tracks
    * Can add amenities and roads to the OSM file (does not upload yet!)
    * Can start a script (QtScript), used for easy extension (making small
games, scenario's)
    * Can take pictures and add GPS data to the pictures (with ExIF)
    * ...

That application is fully tested for the Trolltech Greenphone and I'm pretty
happy with the result.
Although there is still plenty of work to do.
By writing this mail I was hoping to find some people interested in the
application and willing to help improving it.

*Every help is appreciated!*
    * programmers with Qt knowledge,
    * 'beta'-testers willing to test and post bugs on our site,
    * people willing to improve our wiki,
    * and most importantly: Since  this is my first public project and I'm
currently without mentor, I would like someone with some experience who
would do the mentoring.

Here is the website:
http://code.google.com/p/opencitymap/
Source code is available, a build version, a thesis (Dutch) and a
Presentation (also Dutch but screenshots say more then words do)

btw: If you're going to the kde conference (http://akademy.kde.org/), I will
probably give a small (English) presentation on the 12th of August (Embedded
and Mobile Day).


Cheers,
*Mickey* (Michel) Claessens-leroy
