Documentation/Maemo 5 Developer Guide

The Maemo 5 Developer Guide strives to provde an overall picture of the maemo 5 platform for developers wishing to create applications for maemo devices. These devices run a Linux-based operating system on ARM architecture. The maemo SDK is currently provided natively for desktop Linux distributions such as Debian and Ubuntu.

This is still a draft version and does not cover all aspects of the platform yet. These pages will be updated as and when documentation is ready internally.
