No surprise we don't see *any* new developers appearing, eh? QT is gone, things from tablet-dev are hidden in private links better than mosad spies in iran...

It's *hillarious* how impossible to start coding for Maemo has become. Could someone* bring attention of Council/HiFo to this problem, if they still exist? Maybe, for a change, they would do something creative, instead of spamming maemo's mailing list with ping-pong accusations?

I start to wonder what's the use for paying big sum of money for Neo900 and bringing Freemantle there, if no fckn new one will be able to code for it, in anything else than shellscripts or python?

Sorry for rant, but this and the other one "start coding" thread (the one about setting up Scratchbox development VM, or rather, about *not* setting it, as it become goddamn mission impossible, even more than it was before) really made me doubting about Maemo's future, more than anything else from long list in past years.

It is *not* normal situation, that if you're newcomer (or old coder who lost his dev enciromnent for any reasons), you're virtually unable to (re)build your development enviromnent. Decades old propertiary systems (Amiga, for example) doesn't suffer from such unbeliveable mess as Maemo.

*I would do it myself, but I have no idea anymore who they are, how to reach them, and I'm quite sure I don't want to change that - have better things to do than, apparently, waste my time and lose nerves caught between their warzone.
