if this thread does nothing else it'll inspire people to get on with some programming.

I have been looking into developing for maemo but the documentation is little help. I haven't tried the proper SDK yet because I haven't got round to sorting out a virtual machine, but I have had a quick little play with MADDE in which I managed to create a simple hello world program that worked on my mac, but not on my phone.

You guys think python is an easier way into maemo dev? Also, UI creation, can I use QT creator?
