Hello, not sure about the subject nomenclature there but I am requesting for some amazing developers to design a simple widget that will tell the user how many unread google talk messages there are. This would be amazing. If you decide to make this I would certainly donate and I imagine others would too as there is a need for something like this.
Thanks

I was thinking of making a website and using this chat script I found at flashchatdeluxe.com to setup a chat room for our forum community to meet and talk. Get to know the people behind the funny avatar pics and hilarious signatures Is that something you guys might find interesting? I'll post a link here when I have a prototype of the chat room online. Would be nice to see you there for a chat!
i would definitely be a reg
Developers at XDA.
I’m sure many of you have heard of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Over the past week I’ve become involved and have determined that there is a need that could most efficiently be met through technology and since I know little of developing I’m looking for some assistance.
Here is the problem:
Protesters are not allowed to communicate with a PA system. This means that when we try to organize we need to scream everything out to each other and pass the message along. As you can image, in the game of telephone things get distorted and misunderstood. We need some way to relay messages to anyone who needs it quickly.
Solution:
I believe that an app would be the best way to facilitate this. While there could be updates online, that’s slow and requires people who want to post something online to go to the blog. It also means that we would have to constantly check. It also means that someone would have to type long messages in through a touch screen. Not efficient.
My Idea is for the app comes from seeing the app Coco voice for the iphone. It’s a service where you can speak into your phone and like a text message it sends that vocal message to said recipient. Now if you took that same kind of recording idea, and instead of sending it directly to a phone number, uploaded it to a main server and people subscribed to that specific “group” (or what have you) would receive a push notification about a new message. Then everyone would be able to get important information about what’s happening, what we’re doing. And especially where to avoid clashes with police. A text element for quick messages would also be great.
What’s in it for you:
1) You’d be helping a movement that hopefully you believe in.
2) The use of this application could go far beyond just this movement. It’s sort of vocal tweeting phone to phone. Subscribe to a group and be informed. People could record a cut of a song and send it directly or just say hello to all your loved ones at once while on vacation. This is a legitimate idea that has widespread application.
3) This will quickly become one of the more downloaded apps. There were 15-20,000 people at the NYC protest last night. The protests are also sprouting up in over 10 different cities across the US. Then there will be people that just want to know what happening. An immediate wide audience to launch the application and gain publicity.
4) You will get mad props
Is there anyone out there who is willing to put in some time in helping to develop an application to help facilitate communication among protesters? This would have to be a free app at least until the protests are over. Preferably it would be both iOs and android compatible. Please let me know so we can talk through some ideas, specifics, timelines, and what not.
Also let me know if you think this is possible or not. Or if you have any other good ideas. Let’s get this moving.
ps - let's try to keep this from getting political. We do not need to argue about the protest here. If you are interested great help out, if not then just move on to the next thread. Thanks in advance.
LoL. Really? What are you end goals? What do you want changed? Who makes the rules?

What about a tweeter like app? But instead of status updates in text they are mp3s or wav files

I think that would work as well. Definitely open to suggestions that might make this easier for developers. Ant interest?

I would love to talk to you about this, but this is not the right place for that discussion. Pm me if you actually have interest, I have real answers. I just know this forum was not made for this purpose so I won't do it here.
It would be very honorable for some Devs to spend a little bit of time on this. I could see this app on headlines. Would be a good way for some Dev to get exposure too.

Hi everyone out there!
My name is Fredrik and I have decided to create a group called "[Barcode]".
I don't really know why, but I think that this new group can spread new ideas and create new posts with eachother, if some would decide to join.
I think it could be critical to create groups on XDA, because we can build barriers and maintain (hopefully) a high standard and get well recognized by our name.
This is just a project, and I hope that some competence would be available out here!
Everyone is welcome!
I searching people with skills that could maybe create different posts that could help people or maybe provide them with something new. Both would be perfect!
Anyone want to join?
Contact me if interested, or leave a comment
I'm looking for developers willing and able to help with a project.
I'll start by saying, this is a Atheist oriented project focused on atheist related issues. You don't need to be atheist to help, but at least opened minded to others beliefs, or lack there of.
I'm heading this project for the time being. Its my idea, but its beyond my depth. I don't have the skill set to pull this off on my own. I'll take a step back and allow someone who's capable of heading this, once I find one. I can help in other areas, mostly design.
I have two other developers on board already. Capable of developing Android and WP apps. I have done some Android developing on my own, but I'm a amateur at coding.
We'll be building a website, paired with some mobile apps. Focused on help and information forums, local community forums, Atheist related news articles, Articles on atheism, etc without getting into it to deeply on what we're trying to do. Its open for discussion.
If interested on helping, IM me. We could talk further on what we're trying to achieve, and I can direct you to the facebook group.
