lol hmmm ok, well I guess that's up to paypal, though it might cost you more in fees. Im not sure what the minimum transaction amount is with paypal tbh.
that was the problem with the ChpIn site. they marked the donations as payments...

Speaking of paypal..
I'll send another pm to Randy to see if there's any update on the maemo.org paypal. I suspect there won't be, but best to get the current position.
Im kinda worried about harassing Randy with too many pm's, im sure he'll be sick of hearing from us
It is time we started turning pledges into donations though, so it's got to be done 
Edit: pm sent

C++ and Python would be the two most common languages used for n900 development, Qt is the GUI framework and Nokia offer a Qt SDK as a free download (a little like Visual Studio) and is targeted at c++ programming, however Python bindings exist (the PyQt project) to do the same thing for those who would prefer to use Python. Have a look around the development wiki for more in-depth advice on that.
Guess I cant enter.

And if you still feel it's too early to write something for this friendly competition, I hope you'll take the opportunity to learn a bit more about developing for the n900. You have good programming experience already, you might find it more straight forward than you think

I really have no "want" in developing for a platform I dont even have.

I sent a mail to Quim some days ago about the community PayPal account. No answer.

This competition is a fab idea, I wish everyone involved the best of luck with it. I'd like to chip in with £20 towards the prize fund.
I'd also like to contribute an application. I'll try and think of something over the next few days and post back.

I'll look forward to hearing more on the application you'll be making, add yourself to the participants list on the wiki when you're ready (I just completely ignored the "I'll try" bit, Im sure you'll think of something
)
