I'm installing the scratchbox as we speak. http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Development_Environment/Maemo_SDK is an interesting page i hadn't found before.

All information about the development environment you will find here [1]. Further you could put it into extras-devel, and people internally can test it on the device and can give feedback. [2] First place for the feedback should be the tracker in garage or in the next step it is possible to think about adding it in the bugzilla [3]. Further a good place for developers is their category in maemo wiki.

new contributors: maemo5 testing, extras repository etc.
Hi everyone. I'm involved in the uzbl browser project (www.uzbl.org) and would like to port it to (make it available on) Maemo5. (In fact I'm not sure yet how much porting will be needed, as this is a "normal gtk/glib/webkit-gtk program", maybe it will "just work") But I'm very new to maemo and the community. I created my project @ https://garage.maemo.org/scm/?group_id=1030 I'm still having some problems with pushing my code to the online git clone (http://sprunge.us/JhDZ) (same with GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1), but once I've succeeded that I'm wondering: 1) how do I test my code on maemo5 ? I think I saw i mail about that on this list but couldn't find it back in the archives. IIRC the conclusion was "you pretty much can't .. yet" 2) if you cannot test your program yet, how can you get it in `extras` ? I've read if you want to participate in the n900 dev program it's wise to get your program in extras before the n900 is launched. Furthermore, at http://maemo.org/community/application-catalog/extras_repository/ it is stated: 'you must have a "proven track record" as a maemo developer. It means that you have been programming and preparing good quality software(s) for maemo'. How can you do that if you can't test? 3) am i looking to far? maybe i don't really need to port it and i should just package it? but still the above problems remain. Thank you!
