We have just released the Maemo 5 Final SDK:

http://flors.wordpress.com/2009/10/0...sed-go-extras/

See the links provided there, they contain information that might be interesting even for non-developers impatient to get their hands on Maemo 5. At least now you can run a big % of it under PC emulation, including some apps.

But anyway, this release brings some changes that affect maemo.org as well.

This is the first SDK release done in Forum Nokia without official announcement in maemo.org. See

http://forum.nokia.com/maemo
http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.n...emo_5_SDK.html

This means that http://maemo.org/development/ is now totally "liberated" to the community. Maybe the main page should be also converted simply into a wiki page and let everyone add community supported resources just at the same level than the Nokia provided ones (if they are in good shape, of course).

The Developer Guide is now sitting entirely on the wiki, which is the real master. From there we will produce PDF versions from time to time, that will be hosted in Forum Nokia.

There is also http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...scover_Maemo_5 which is another wiki page that will be very useful for newcomers. Just like the rest, it's open to your direct contributions.

All these changes respond to the basic principle agreed some time ago: Forum Nokia is the place for the mostly static and stable developer tools and documentation supported by Nokia, while maemo.org is the place for the mostly dynamic and unstable tools and documentation produced by Nokia and the community in collaboration.
