No. Much of it is though.

2. ... i want to download the whole code and start to read me through. Where is it available?
Look for the libraries you want, google if the source is available. Qt is all opensource, so that's a good place to start. Also for example:

http://meego.gitorious.org/meegotouch

3. Is there any guide on the internet where i can start to learn about MeeGo?
http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/

4. I know that there is a kind of "jailbreak" for the N9, so anybody must know very deeply about the N9 and MeeGo. Did they open sourced theire project to learn from it?
Yes it's open source. Inception is here http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=85238

5. Apps are written in C++ with Qt, right?
Yes. But depending on application you can do pure QML + JavaScript. Also Python is quite popular.

And last but not least (kind a special one): Is there ANY CHANCE to buy a Nokia 950?? I need a keyboard so much, and this is the only thing i miss on all these smartphones now.
N950s shouldn't be sold, but sometimes you see them sold on ebay. Prepare to pay a lot. And a warning: the LCD screen on N950s seems to be prone to breaking corrupted. My own N950's screen got corrupted, but luckily I got a replacement. I know several other similar cases. IMO N9 is better as a day-to-day smartphone, but of course N950 is nice for some terminal hacking etc. development activities.

Looking forward for your answers and happy to be part of the community.
Have fun and hope you get into development. It's really nice.
