I'm very new to Maemo and will be getting an N900 when it comes out.

Is there somewhere I can read all there is to know about Meamo? Such as installing widgets and apps, and everything else. Also I read about a thing called pidgin, what is this and how do I use it?

Can't wait for the N900!

Well, there was for the old Maemo used in the N800/N810. Tablet School, thanks to hard work by Krisse. Note also the tutorials by category.

To search this forum, use my Newbie link below. You'll find info on Pidgin, and lots else.

For the N900 and Maemo 5, I don't know what there is. Some of the old will carry over, some won't.

maemo.nokia.com is probably the place you want. Expect more content once the N900 is actually released.

Don't worry about Pidgin, there are plugins available for the built-in client that will give you support for nearly any IM protocol you need.

Now that question is broad. :-D Maybe the Wikipedia article is a good start? Stuff that can be installed will be available in the internal Application manager, if it has been uploaded to the official repositories.
Device-wise speaking it seems that the official N900 manual by Nokia is already available on their webpage.

Pidgin is a third-party app that provides multi-protocol instant messaging, see http://pidgin.im or the Wikipedia article.

You could also check the N900 manual, linked via http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=32333, which will give some general advice about how to add widgets and apps.
