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?"pa href="http://ask.slashdot.org/story/10/01/20/1713242/What-Tools-Do-FLOSS-Developers-Need?from=rss"img src="http://developers.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=10/01/20/1713242"/a/ppa href="http://ask.slashdot.org/story/10/01/20/1713242/What-Tools-Do-FLOSS-Developers-Need?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/BetKi4DXsOAK1cL62Ud7e1s0auE/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/BetKi4DXsOAK1cL62Ud7e1s0auE/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/BetKi4DXsOAK1cL62Ud7e1s0auE/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/BetKi4DXsOAK1cL62Ud7e1s0auE/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotDevelopers/~4/vVMRMeH08pk" height="1" width="1"/
