[maemo-developers] Developing for maemo...

[From: Tim]

Thanks, Brad... So, concerning Python/Gtk+... Is that thee best way to
go?

Also, can you (or anyone) suggest any good resources for developing for
maemo (outside of the SDK docs, of course)... And by "developing for
maemo," I mean learning the most applicable language, the best IDE to
use, etc.

Thank you! I appreciate it!

Tim
