Open Handheld Network

I was wondering what the community thought about a program specific to community interactivity.


Coming from ye' ol' gaming days I am really enjoying some of the new services available to us as gamers such as Steam/Desura/Playstation Network/xfire/etc.


It would be nice to be able to keep track of developer/maintainer/friend status in relation to the homebrew/open handhelds/Open Pandora community.


Something as simple as a daemon that you can enable that tracks games played and status could really heighten our experience.


Depending on interest later features could be added like achievements and an application finder/downloader/manager.

This is brought up every so often. Two projects have been worked on but I don't think anything has been finalized. If you search for "PONDS" you might get some information. I think that's what the most recent proposal was called, someone feel free to correct me.

openhandhelds.net might be of interest here...

I couldn't find any information on PONDS and openhandhelds.net looks like it would only be a good resource to drum up more interest in making such a project cross platform.


If there is enough interest in seeing other gamer's status I'm hoping we could either A) reinvigorate an old project or B) find a few people interested in throwing some code and a database together.

I am listening


My intention with openhandhelds.net is to be device agnostic and more about sharing of info, resources, and knowledge.


I am more than willing to host any services like what you are mentioning. It would fit in nicely with the spirit of what I'm trying to offer.


It does sound interesting.
