Did you ever want to experiment with MOSH? Now it is possible, as the, Soon it is possible and the Atom API for MOSH is already out as a draft.

And what is this API for?

"The Nokia MOSH application programming interface (API) implements the Atom Publishing Protocol as a mechanism for publishing, editing, and distributing content on the MOSH platform."

Sorry for the somewhat ugly look&feel of the API document. I ran the original HTML document through Wikitext formatter, which did not do a perfect job... Any suggestions for better tool for this job?

 [EDIT: Failed to mention that the API document is of course a draft for a service which does not exist yet and the dev team is interested in getting your feedback. Sorry for jumping the gun.]

On this coming Sunday (March 16th) some lucky people will be in Porto de Galinhas to attend the BOSSA Conference. Lucky in two ways. 1) Who would not want to visit Brazil? And 2) the event program seems to be excellent.

For those of you who do not know, BOSSA is annual and international conference on open source software for mobile embedded platforms. According to a short email blurp I received just today from the organizers, about 200 people will attend the event. And there are some news articles already on this event - unfortunately in one of the languages I cannot read.

Some time ago we added the possibility to rate articles on our Wiki. Every content page has two rating widgets at the top of the page. One for the for the quality and one for the expertise level (how demanding the article is).

Unfortunately those ratings have not been used much even though in the longer run those ratings could end up being useful tools for locating Wiki articles worth reading. Or articles in need of a total overhaul...

So next time you read an article in our wiki, please, spend few seconds of your time to rate the article you just read. Those few seconds will surely benefit other developers looking for answers.

It has been a while (loosely speaking, strictly speaking better term is number of months) since I last wrote anything here.  Of course you have been able to find my witty (again, loosely speaking...) comments on FN discussion boards, but those are all only answers to someones problems, not anything original.

On with the show. As some of you have seen we have had the video player on our Lobby site, which we have used to highlight videos related to mobile development. After our recent (small) site update the player got more capabilities and we can now point that to videos on stored on existing video libraries, like YouTube. So we are not limited to the videos we have produced on our own. Trust me, this is a good thing.

This also means that the rotation of the videos gets faster. And at least for the following next months the videos will be highlighted based on monthly themes. March is Web runtime, Widget, Widset, what say you....

The current one out is a headspinning gameplay video of Bombus Widget for WidSets from Lancaster University, which seems to have about 140,000+ downloads at the Widset Web site. 

What's the next one? Send your suggestions to me, either through this blog or to my email (you know my first and last name and surprisingly Nokia uses firstName.lastName in the email addresses...)
