The learning curve for developers to become valid for a large open source project is particularly steep (git, java,perl, python, c ++, c #, project architecture, project philosophy, . many, too many technologies, to learn in a short time). Who, like me, every day develops Windows desktop applications (. NET) without a strong source control system in considerable difficulty. I use only some basic functions of svn.
Probably the biggest problem is the development philosophy that is radically different. Windows developers who use only the tools found in the MSDN think in a way totally different from those who develop an open source project with open technologies. I have a long past of system administrator and I know very well Unix shell / awk, but I'm not developing Linux applications. I believe that in addition to the information in the wiki is interesting to provide some simple scripts that allow you to quickly start the initial work. I think it is necessary to find a way to reduce the gap between these two environments in order to facilitate the windows developers to enter the world of open source technologies. In http://pastebin.com/u/walterLO I will upload some simple scripts that might be of interest to developers who are in my same position. can you check their validity? If you think that these simple scripts are useful feel free to post them in the wiki. Regards walter
