Yes - there is this:
https://wiki.maemo.org/Getting_started_with_Maemo_Garage

You can also upload your software to Diablo Extras:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Uploading_to_Extras - this will make your software
available to a wider audience.

Ideally, you should create a .install file which will make the
application single-click installable by a tablet user: The file format
is described in the osso-application-installer documentation:
https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/haf/trunk/osso-application-installer/doc/repository.txt

We (I?) should probably bring all this, and other necessary information
for application developers who want to be good Maemo citizens, into one
place/group of pages.

You will need to create one.

I suspect that you weren't signed in? In any case, I hope this helps :)

Cheers,
