  @marc_aurel said in Ubuntu Touch User Manual: I'm working for the Volla Phone. The EU law requires to ship a smartphone with a printed user manual. I see we are some thinking in a similar idea / project. How can we do this in a very centralized effort? I'm thinking of [text universal file] -> [pan doc / machine tranform] that can go into: Docs Manual New user online guide (docs?) Other? Do we have some specification for the manual: size, number of pages, should be the same for all projects?

  When I read the proposition of Lionel I thought about the most popular fully featured apps. For me, requirements to get into this kind of repository should be something like: UT app (port of existing app to UT, native app) Popularity the user base should be large enough to draw developers/designers to contribute Of course popularity is hard to define, but I agree that some advanced apps should benefit from the visibility given by the foundation to help find people to contribute. I also agree with @dobey that the separation should be clear between community apps, core apps and the OS. Problems are who could be in charge of the gitlab, how to manage access rights, etc. I have very little knowledge of how it can be done. Meanwhile if a developer cannot continue maintaining their app, the forum is a good place to call for a new maintainer and ask for help to keep a nice project alive.

  @Jose_Fabio said in Boosting privacy and lower free for donations with BTC: Btw, sorry for the typo at the title, when I was about to change it someone flagged my post as spam and now it says I can't edit the post because it's been too long since I posted it. It wasn't flagged as spam. But as you're a new member of the forum there are more strict rules about posting and editing posts. You'll get through it soon I guess and you'll be able to edit your posts later.

  @x-Dub Well QML and JavaScript works well together so it's not a technical problem IMHO. Or maybe you're like me an know almost nothing to JS What I'm afraid of is the necessary dependencies that the library will bring. Web techno are out of my league because it moves too fast for my taste. If you try the adventure, you'll find help here or on Telegram.

  Thank you for appreciating the OS and congrats on your new device or toy Ubuntu Touch is very functional however, it has been running on android-based devices for many years and the Pinephone is quite different in terms of hardware so there are still many things that normally work in UT but not yet on the pinephone. So we hope you have patience and have a good time during the process . Also, I think it's also good to try out other distros using the sd card. That's the beauty of the Pinephone

  I think in one of the previous Q&A it was discussed what to do with the money raised through the PinePhone campaign. It certainly will not be used to employ someone, but they mentioned that some freelancers could be paid from it. Anyone has an update on that?

  Alternate keyboard?

  @badcloud I have not found any detailed description about it. I made some alternative layouts: the number of buttons was changed, the layout of the keys was redesigned, but I cannot (and do not want to) add Ctrl, Alt etc. It might be interesting, but it is far from my understanding the device and the operating system. My only purpose was to make it easier to reach the full Hungarian character set and some typography marks (and to make it easier the full ascii set in another layout). After that I made layouts for several other languages for my fun only. Well, to tell the truth, I sometimes suffered from the French keyboard layout and I thought it would be much more comfortable in a hotel when my design would have been universally accepted:-) You can find two scripts for installing these layouts. You must reach your device with ssh, you have to adapt its ip address, there may be further little quirks… Your measures may vary, elementary bash knowledge is necessary to edit (and then to use) the scripts… There is a simple backup mechanism for the original files, but no guarantee is given. After trying my scripts your device may be unusable, the keyboard may disappear etc. The scripts were successfully used on bq Aquaris E4.5 phone, M10 tablet (original Ubuntu from Canonical) and on bq Aquaris E4.5, Nexus 5 phones (recent Ubuntu Touch). https://f-labor.mkt.bme.hu/~madas/index.php?rst=mp&rid=pglk PS pglk is for p(h)oenician, greek, latin and cyrillic alphabets or simply p(oly)gl(ott) k(eyboard layout) Enjoy it…

  @cliffcoggin If you know people who want to talk to you, ask them to install Signal Messenger https://www.signal.org/ available for all platforms Android, Apple, Microsoft, Linux... You should use Axolotl then - so you can chat with your people. I hope Axolotl will get some love in near future - Pinephone is out

  @poVoq Ok, you'll have to be more specific about the burden, because I cannot fathom what they can be. And I totally agree that everyone is welcome to contribute with their background and personal interest so we can achieve great things.
