I'm cross-posting to tuxpaint-devel...

I personally don't have any spare time to look into this, but
just glancing at the list of existing applications, here:

  http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Applications

I see "SuperTux", "FreeDroid", and some other SDL-based games
and applications, which means it's likely that, at the very least,
the lowest-functionality version of Tux Paint should run on it.
(That is, without Pango for advanced UI text rendering (e.g. for Arabic),
without SVG support (so only bitmap Stamps & Starters would work).

This page:
  http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Compiling_for_the_NanoNote
seems to use a "hello-sdl" program as an example. :)


Jane - Have you tried adding Tux Paint to the application wishlist
that they maintain, here?

If anyone out here tries their hand at this, and needs help,
please post your questions to 'tuxpaint-devel'.  Obviously, I'd
be happy to host the final build in the Tux Paint project
over at SourceForge.net, and add the Ben Nanonote version to
the Tux Paint 'Downloads' page.

Thanks & good kluck!
