[maemo-developers] new project

[From: Gille Caluim Anesthesia]

I'm exploring building a home network appliance using maemo as a foundation and could use a little guidance. 
This appliance would:
be wall mounted like a panel pc, no keyboardfunction as a client for network audio serverretrieve/display local weather via http requestusing built in video camera, function as video intercom interface for calling other appliances on network.function as a room thermostat by measuring temp and controlling hvac relays.whatever else anyone can think of the hardware platform consists of a mini-itx fanless mobo (Intel D201GLY2) connected to a 7" 800x480 lcd with usb touchscreen (lilliput) and using only virtual keyboard.

Obviously, many of the above functions have already been taken care of as gtk widgets.

Please excuse my ignorance but..does this sound like something appropriate for maemo?  the website talks about maemo for mobile linux based devices but not really sure where to start on building a custom distro for my hardware?  Are there any tutorials for building maemo foundation for non-nokia devices?
