Hi Paul,

We spoke months ago and I was working with you to try and get some sort of a "hello world" example for tRio. Basically getting something to display on the rio screen gracefully.

It may be nice to have some sort of a plugin architecture as well. Maybe another menu of "plugins" under which people could add weird little plugins.

Here is what I am thinking... If I could store a field in the tRio properties that I could read with my pludin it would be ideal. Here are some of the plugins I would like to develop:

1. Weather Plugin: DIsplay the weather for a given city or list of cities.
2. Random Quote/joke of the Day (via a web feed).

I know they are really simple and stuipid but I would really like to use them as a launching pad to other more complex plugins. Additionally providing source for other developers to use in helping them create other plugins.

Can anyone help?

It's been hiding in tRio for some time now. Try uncommenting the following line in trio.xml:

<application name="helloworld" title="Hello World" message="Hello World!!! ..."/>

It should appear towards the bottom of the menus.

Cheers
Paul
