I would say, "logic", not "interesting". One thing is to invest your
spare time in an open source project (I don't know you guys, but i do
other things for a living) but also investing 400 euros is maybe too much
to ask to developers, who are creating the sustainability of the N800 as an
appealing platform for non developers. Also, consider that the new N800 is
much better and more appealing that the 770, so many of us are now
considering it seriously.
By the way, I'm not currently in any project (neither do I own a N800 in
this moment) but I'm cooking one project regarding gesture based interfaces.
If initial research goes well, I'll let you know . . . and this will hapen
regardless of that rebate :-D
