My experience exactly (except that I was planning to start developing one year ago for my N810). Being new to Linux (I'm a C# coder too) I asked advice but didn't get good replies. Somehow I got a feeling that there are no beginner Maemo developers. You have to born as one. If you ask questions, then you are not the chosen one.

Me too. Luckily I didn't start last year since I have been very busy with other stuff. Hopefully I have time to learn Qt in the end of summer. Or maybe I do something with Vala and GTK.
I think Maemo/Meego could use some developers, even n00b ones like me. One day I might learn something and maybe produce something worthy for the community that has given me applications that I use daily.
