Thank you for your interest and welcome to the group! We're in much need of developer support and any contribution is greatly appreciated.
In addition to what Carlos has said, I just want to add that one can start developing even with lack of the hardware itself. Here are some links for XO emulators and also Sugar on Stick: QEMU runs a virtual XO in any machine and is what's mostly used by OLPC developers: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OS_images_for_emulation You can also run Sugar on top of existing OS (Windows Vista currently unsupported) through a USB stick (called "Sugar on a Stick"). Details can be found on this page: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Downloads Hope this helps. Jerome Gotangco can chime in for additional tech info..
