What Tools Do FLOSS Developers Need?

An anonymous reader writes "I am a free software developer; I maintain one relatively simple project written in C, targeted at end users, but I feel that I could contribute something more to the FLOSS community than my project. Instead of focusing on another project targeted at end users, I thought that I could spend my time working on something FLOSS developers need ('Developers, developers, developers, developers!'). The question is: what more do FLOSS developers need from existing development tools? What would attract new developers to existing FLOSS development tools? Which existing development tools need more attention? I can contribute code in C, Python and bash, but I can also write documentation, do testing and translate to my native language. Any hints?"

hmmm

I have to ask myself, did the poster think that after quoting and highlighting a particular thing from the original post, we still wouldn't understannd that they thought it was an important part?

Seriously, the "THIS" meme has to die, and I don't care how ugly it gets or how loud it wails, as long as I get to say "I am thankful for its end." Next time, I'm using mod points.

This!
