Palm Pilot Free Software page?

Posted by Cliff on from the freshmeat-for-the-pilot dept.

Mr. Feely asks: "As an author of free software for the Palm Pilot, I've found it helpful to look at the other free Pilot software out there for ideas and code. However, I've found most that free software just by browsing around; as far as I can tell there doesn't seem to be any central index of free software (and free software resources) for the Pilot. Does such a thing exist? If not, is there sufficient interest to create it?"

    You might like to try:
    http://www.eurocool.com/palm/index.html

    or making a page for your code and getting it included on this list

    Excellence does not spontaneously arise from the efforts of mediocre people working together, no matter how great their numbers.

    ... and then you will understand why your site failed.

    Several of us started working on the Open Palm project about a year ago, but it kinda got stalled in technicallities. The project could stand to be revived...

    I'm personally working on a game which when it reaches a decent state I plan to GPL.

    No, idiot. The project has stagnated because no one has enough time to devote to it.

      hehe. thats quite typical in any GPLised project. i've not had time to code new releases for Z-Doc either (look on eurocool or the palmpilot webring sites). Although now some guy has decided to take over coding which is nice..

    Although Mr. Feely's request seems to be for "Free speech" rather than "Free beer" software, I would like to point out that Andre Eisenbach is building a nice "Free beer" site for Palm software at palm.eisenbach.com.

    I have not been able to find much in the way of open source software for the Palm.
