[maemo-developers] point ou9t, [please, the way to go ...

[From: Rafael Proença]

Hi,

I'm not exactly sure of what you want (as you can see you only told us what
you need in the last paragrapher of your email, which is not very healthy if
you want to get an answer, anyway...).

If you want to get started with a development environment to develop for
Maemo, and maemo pages did not work for you (
http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/4.0/INSTALL.txt), maybe this guide could be
handy to get started: http://www.progbox.co.uk/wordpress/?p=453

If this is not what you was expecting, please ignore that.

Regards.
