iPhone client

I don't know if this is precisely on topic for this comm, but it seems like the least inappropriate community for making this sort of announcement...

As my capstone project for my degree, I'm working on developing an iPhone app for use with Dreamwidth. I'm pretty excited about it and about the progress I've made so far. I have an entry over in my journal where I'm taking requests for potential features. Any and all suggestions/requests/input will be gratefully welcomed. Signalboosting would also be welcomed, especially since I'm hoping to use that post as evidence that potential users for this app really do exist.

Relatedly... does the wiki belong to a particular committee, or may anyone make changes? I've noticed that most of the pages related to the XML-RPC interface are marked as needing update, and since I foresee spending a lot of time with them anyway this semester... yeah.

What's your wiki username? Someone'll have to flip your write access on, but once we do that, anyone can make changes.

( also if you have any questions about the XML-RPC interface, feel free to badger me )

Fits right in with all the other entries here!

I'm looking forward to having an app for use! I have thing sI want; will think about them and comment in a bit.

Anyone may make changes to the wiki in principle (we love people who do so!), though sometimes editing has been locked as an anti-spam measure. I'm not sure of the current state, but if you have any questions, [personal profile] foxfirefey knows everything about the wiki *G* / see also [site community profile] dw_wiki.

Relatedly, if there's anything that needs doing in the backend, post here or contact me (fu@dreamwidth.org), and let's talk!

You may want to look at http://dw-dev.dreamwidth.org/68189.html and http://www.xerxes.co.nr/src/Dreamwidth_Proposal.pdf (previous attempt at developing one, that never led anywhere). The comments on the proposed UI (and the UI screenshots themselves) may be useful.
