I am interested and want to start too. I got to exchange messages with kojacker in one of the threads here and he got me interested. I will take the advice and will start learning QML. I am on Ubuntu 12.04 currently and have been using Ubuntu for about 2 years (I can do basic Terminal usage and some manipulations in Conky config files). I have some propensity in using MS Excel and I feel that it somehow equipped me with the foundation of having that logic for looking at codes (same way when I look at Excel formulas). Not sure if I'm making sense to everyone, but definitely I will do my best.
