Bought the N810 because I like tinkering with devices, and wanted something that would not bore me. Loved Maemo, loved the device, loved this community, was a big fan. But yeah, after hanging out for so long, you just learn things, and most people here like to help others as much as possible. I like helping noobs out, and like it even more when people help me (because I am also a noob). I don't think you need to know programing or stuff to be helpful or a "pro." I know a little (anyone remember pysnes?), but its more of a sense of curiousness and helping that matter.
