Hi all!
Time for an update on this project (the tasks are viewable here:
http://ciyam.org/open/?cmd=view&data=20130606055250338000&ident=M100V137&chksum=a2a9d6d5 )
----------------------------------------
First off, Xenland has done an excellent job creating a QT systray project that integrates with the OT API. (Xenland has already posted screenshots.) It is able to successfully make OT API calls, and it's got menus and some dialogs, but it's nowhere near complete.
You can see the project here:
https://github.com/Open-Transactions/MoneychangerUnfortunately Xenland said recently that he wouldn't be able to work on it for at least the next month, as he has real life things he has to prioritize.
As the last review date was a month or two ago,
we're re-opened the task for bidding so we can get it moving again.
Any QT experts interested? As always, I will be available to support you and provide whatever you need on the OT side.
----------------------------------------
Secondly, the code in Xenland's app that actually "drives OT" has been completed by myself, since at Monetas we had to use it in our iPhone app. (And we'll be using it in our Android app as well.)
So you can see that code working now in our iPhone demo videos:

Third, you may notice each individual task has a bounty associated with it. So if you want to donate to the effort,
please donate only to the address associated with the INDIVIDUAL TASK you are supporting, and not to any other BTC address (such as the addresses appearing for the overall "Moneychanger" project or the "General UI" or "Integration" categories.) This way the amount will update for your individual task, and that will help incentivize coders to take on those tasks.
----------------------------------------
Fourth, the "Internationalization" task has a 5 BTC donation, but it appears as a "0.0" -- This is because it was donated to the main address instead of to the individual "Internationalization" task (which was my fault.) So at some point soon I'll be re-arranging the funds to get the 5 BTC to appear on that task.
----------------------------------------
Fifth, OT contributor randy-waterhouse has figured out the proper protocol for using Namecoin for OT credentials, which is viewable here:
http://opentransactions.org/forum/index.php?topic=10.msg40#msg40I've been contacted by a potential Namecoin integrator and so hopefully we'll be able to get that task assigned to him ASAP.
----------------------------------------
That's it for now!
