“I steal from every movie ever made.” – Quentin Tarantino
Like Quentin, I’m stealing from Frederic Peters’ recent “Shell Yes!” blog post and am going to try and bring you, our loyal reader, semi-regular updates on what’s going on in the world of Snowy development as we work towards launching Tomboy Online.
Jeff Schroeder patched Snowy this week using, as he puts it, “Shiney django admin stuff” to not allow users who are not in the upcoming alpha and beta to sync their notes. Users will instead see something similar to this:
Snowy could use some design love, so we blogged about that and created a Designer Playground on the wiki. Add your mockups and we’re looking for help if you can make those mockups come to life!
We created a mailing list that users can opt-in to for Tomboy Online news, release announcements and non-development type stuff.
OpenID support for creating accounts and logging in received some love. When completed, it will look similar to what bitbucket uses from a UI perspective.
We’re also working on creating a proposal to send to the GNOME Board to have a Snowy hackfest. We are discussing the goals of what we want to accomplish, who can come, where to have it and when. If you’re interested, join the mailing list, now is a great time to get involved!
Lastly, we’re hoping to launch the Snowy alpha test with a handful (and I really mean a handful) of testers on September 13th. For more information, we wrote a FAQ on the upcoming alpha test, which is required reading – there will be a test next time! After the first invites go out, we hope to add more participants weekly as we work towards an open beta. Alpha testers will be expected to file bugs, give feedback and pay to be in the beta.
Did you know? TinTin was Tomboy’s first icon / logo in GNOME on the panel.

Well, if you’ve been waiting for some kind of stable release of OpenVP for Banshee, you will love this. OpenVP is part of the Banshee Community Extensions 1.7.4 release! Go get it, and be sure to file any bugs you come across.

The Tomboy Online / Snowy team needs your help! We have an alpha instance of Tomboy Online up and running thanks to the wonderful GNOME Sysadmin team and we even have some new contributors helping with Snowy’s code (hi Jeff!).
But we need help! We need help with the web design for Tomboy Online and we’ll need help implementing it.
First, the design. Here’s what we have today:
(Click through to see a larger screenshot).
And that’s just the home page after you log in. We need help with how to display a note, your list of notes, and editing notes. (Hope I’m not scaring you away yet!) And that’s just off the top of my head – I’m sure there’s more that I’m missing. (Update: Sandy’s blog post shows some more screenshots, including a page with a list of notes).
Do you have wicked web design skills? Have some time to put together some mockups? Are you able to take feedback well? Then we’re looking for YOU. I don’t even care about workflow right now. You can join the Snowy mailing list, you can email me with questions, you can join us in IRC in #snowy on irc.gimpnet.org, you can blog it about it and let us know – we’d just love to see some mockups so we can then go hunting for a sucker looking for a volunteer to bring your design to life.
Manuel started work on this potential design last year and we’re looking for help to build on that or for something new. But we need help in building iterations of it and moving forward.
Tomboy Online, powered by Snowy, will be one of GNOME‘s first web services with application integration. Get the code here, learn more about our upcoming alpha here or join our mailing list here. You will be able to sync your Tomboy notes to the web using GNOME’s Tomboy Online service or your own server running Snowy. Snowy is free software licensed under the AGPL.
And thank you in advance for your help!
