'TrekOS'-Name contest

[suchiaruzu]

Okay, as you might have seen in my "Art"-thread, RICoder and me have started an alternate PocketPC OS, based on StarTrek graphics. It will be free, so don't worry about the price and stuff.<br>Here's the deal: We need a fancy name - and I mean a fancy name. Nothing like LCARS CE or PocketPADD. The winner get's - uhm ... - well...<br>[center]A free copy [/center]<br>Thanks a lot,<br>-Shape

Trek stuff is with Paul. He's the resident geek here on PM.

[Paul]

dude!

[RICoder]

Gotta get him into the Multimedia room first.

[RICoder]

Ohh..never mind.

[Luciano U. Werner]

BTW, what do you want it to do? I now it's some kind of tricoder and has a Star Tek interface (if that's possible), but what will it do?

[RICoder]

Shape and I are working on the spec now.  We will post it as it comes together.  We are always looking for ideas!

[Paul]

its a full OS isnt it?

[RICoder]

It's more like a suplimental OS.  Runs on top of PPC.  I'll share some thoughts on whats up right now.<br><br>It is fullscreen.<br>The start menu is an integrated component, but it looks like LCARS.<br>When it shells out to another app, it goes away.<br>There will be embedded apps in it, as plug-ins.<br>

So its like a frontend then almost.

[Luciano U. Werner]

Nice. Could it have a  built in Trek library? It could have photos of the characters, names, ranks, what series they're on, etc. A library of the spaceships would be cool too, (federation or not), with photos and discriptions.<br>Paul could handle that.<br>Right, Paul?

[Village_Ideot]

how bout TrekOS<br><br>or Startrek - The Final OS<br><br>or StarOS<br><br>or TribbleOS<br><br>But seriously you guys HAVE to include an easter egg with tribbles in it.  there is on way around that.<br>

[suchiaruzu]

Luciano,<br>if you write it - sure. We mustnt use the one from StarTrek.com.<br>Ideot,<br>Maybe we'll just call it tribble. sounds nice. I remember the trek episode with tribbles. i think it was one of my favourites.<br>EsterEggs... good idea! We'll think about it!

[Luciano U. Werner]

Shape, I don't know zilt of any of the new series, only some stuff from the original. I didn't know there already was something like what I suggested. But is there a PPC version of this?

[Paul]

i'm in. ric, keep sending me the app as you build it, if you could. i'd like to it 'grow'
