Hey there,
for over one year now I lived in a sad world in the belief that Ubuntu touch is dead. Now I stumbled across you great people and suddenly there is hope and color again in this world 
Just ordered a new battery for my old OPO and in a week or so I should be a proud owner of an Ubuntu touch device!
I have some questions. I'm sure some of them were already addressed, feel free to just ignore them.
- How can someone with mediorce coding skills and ~2-3 hours time a week help this project the best?
- Where to start when you want to go into app development? Wikis, tutorials, documentations, (development kits?)
- At which place in the financial priority list is buying a decent camera/microphone/lights/greenscreen for the Q&As? at least for Dalton as a moderator.. (is that you @Lakotaubp?)
- What are you mid-term and long-term goals? I mean the foundation manifesto gives a good idea, but it would be great to here it from you guys. To put it in a job interview style: Where do you see yourself/ the project in a year from now?
- When I remember correctly, you can fund 1.5 full time developers atm, right? Granted the community stays active and the project flourishes, do you have any clue how many full timers it would need in the long run to sustain a mobile operating system? I know tons of factors come into play here, but what is the order of magnitude?
I think that is it for now. I would be happy to see some of these questions addressed in the Q&A. Keep up the great work!
Cheers
