Just a few "cents" from me... ;-)

I don't know how you would call it:

I'm doing it the "old-fashioned way": strictly by command-line, directly 
from GIT on my Ubuntu 'Devel'-PC. No GUI, no mouse, just console and 
keyboard. Nothing but blinking cursors and GIT commands.
git pull ..., git status ..., nano or mc-editor, make ..., git push ..., 
git sendmail ...: thats nearly all I use and need.

And after struggling through some - sometimes rather weird - problems, 
I'm getting used to it and wouldn't want to do it any other way.
Its logical and fast. Not comfortable, but 'at the roots'.

And while creating a patch for a new 'nano 2.5.1'-version 
(http://patchwork.ipfire.org/patch/208/) I got the thought that perhaps 
it would help others if I would ~record the process of creating this - 
rather easy - patch with some "how I did it" explanations and/or 
screenshots so they could get a grip on the procedure? Thinking of 
"Building Addons", perhaps we could put something like that in Wiki? Not 
too complicated, just showing how to build an rather easy patch and push 
it/send it through GIT.

Sorry, I got Windows 7 running, but none of the mentioned tools here, so 
my prerequisits may differ.

It would take some time, but I think, this could be a way to make things 
easier.
