Yep and I am thinking, as developer, at all the questions I had while porting xournal to Maemo.

Like, in no particular order, just thrown in as they pop up in my mind.
I am sure many won't fit the idea you guys have of a Use Case and many would quite low-level, but they could be ispiring:

Start:

- Where to start from ?

Packaging:

- Is there a Debian packaging template for Maemo ?
- How do I add a subdir to my tree structure? <automake, autoconf>
- How can I make a Debian package that automatically compile and packages for Debian like distributions and Maemo (useful for porting
apps)

Devel:

- How do I make my application aware of the Maemo specific context (i.e. rotation, battery warning, connected/disconnected, calls in/out, keyboard slider, and so on)
- Are there some 'standard' gesture I could re-use?
- How do Hildon Menu works?
- How can I make my own Widget ?
- How can I fade in/out stuff ?
- How do I read Maemo hardware data: pressure sensitivity, rotation status, light sensor ?
- How can I make my code compile on as many Maemo blends as possible
- How can I drive the LED ?
- How do I access the cameras ?
- How do I communicate with other applications ? (camera, modest, contacts, calendar)

UI:

- How do I develop complex UI interfaces (like Canola or FM Radio do)
  i.e. rarely using Hildon Widgets

Hope this is something you were looking for.
