I will also allocate 5 Google Wave invitations for regular users who have never done any type of programing in their lives. Just send me a PM with your email address.

Any one else that already has a Google Wave account and wants to join the wave let me know as well.

When the work is done, we will donate it to the Maemo community somehow.

I hope this is fun and helpful.
Hello!

I think this is a great idea and it might be just the thing I am looking for.

Iīm a newbie in coding, I have the basic understanding what it is, but nothing concrete, especially in Python. I know some basic HTML/CSS and Iīm currently trying to learn more of it, as I just enrolled for a Web publishing course at my uni.

I had/have a few ideas for applications for Symbian and considered learning to develope for it. Somehow I felt that the starting phase was a bit overwhelming and couldnīt really visualize my idea becoming an app(in a considerable amount of time), so the "spark" to learn slowly died.

Now, thanks to the N900 and Maemo, I feel the spark has ignited again. Unfortunately Iīm quite cramped, timewise, and donīt know how much time I have to put in to this, but Iīd love to participate as much as I can.

I also have to admit, that one of the reasons why your project seems so interesting is, that itīs done through Wawe. So I feel, that I could learn two things at once, which is always nice. Unfortunately I donīt have a Wawe account. So if you still have those newbie invites left, I would appreciate one. It seems that Iīm unable to send PMīs(Why is that? Not enough posts??) so hereīs my mail: Edit: Thank you for the invitation.
