[iRail] Knowing each mobile developper.

Hi Christophe!

I'm the co-developer of the Symbian (and Maemo!) application, so you
can add me to the list.

I'll edit the other answers below, inline.

Main development is on Maemo richt now, but that should be
cross-compatible with Symbian. And in a later stadium Meego as well!

I'll definitely support a unified user-interface and common
application name, which is a very important "marketing point" IMO.
However, I think the best way to realize such a unified GUI is to
create a set of guidelines; as well as develop a set of resources to
use (I'm thinking: icons, etc). So it'll still be our "own" client,
but I guess this is what you had in mind already :)

> * Would you like to integrate the "chat" system to you OS?
Sure, but it won't be a priority for me (maybe Pieter has more
interest in this). Personally I think it would be better to focus on
our current goals (being iRail, limited to what we discussed at 0x20
last week), and make the extra functionality like the chat (and other
things we discussed, such as other ways of public transport, or
comparison between car and public transport, etc) a feature of the
next project ("iTransport"? ^^).
