New project called jointSPACE allowing homebrew applications on TVs

Hi,

I would like to inform you about this new project called jointSPACE.
I am personally working on it and try to find developers enthusiastic for it.

The idea of jointSPACE is to create homebrew applications for Philips TV displays.
The TV expose its API over the network using DirectFB technologies.
You can develop remote applications making use of TV API from many systems, including the Nintendo DS and the iPhone for e.g.
The remote device just needs network capabilities (a router is also enough!)


The NDS applications currently use DSLinux.
You can find the applications but also information on the project at:

http://jointspace.sourceforge.net/
http://jointspace.sourceforge.net/download.html

I would be happy if you could promote the project for me.

I am looking for people that could port the SDK on Devkitpro and so support PSP, WII,... and NDS natively.
Also ideas of new applications, other systems...

Thanks a lot!

How are you using DSLinux and are you planning to upload your changes to the DSLinux SVN repos? Glad to know it's not quite dead and buried yet...

The applications are user space only.
There is no need for changing DSLinux itself.

I would be happy to contribute to the RFS of the NDS.
Are you involved in the DSLinux project?

I was one of the last developers to work on it before it slipped into hibernation. I still have my dev environment setup and can upload things to svn if needed.

What sort of userspace apps are they? Have you ported any additional libraries?
