New topic: Learning how to write for OpenMoko

[Ryan Kline]

Thanks for all your help.

 >"video ringtones" are not programs - they are just video  
animations. You can do them in graphic programs.
I know that the actual video is not a program, but I would like to  
develop a program that plays the videos when you get a call.

 >if you focus on graphic applications (Photoshop, Gimp, 3D Studio  
Max, Blender) you may do this by contributing themes, backgrounds etc
I have photoshop, so thats probably a good start. I guess I should  
wait to get a Neo, so I will know what to tweak.
