great time management reference for larger FLOSS projects

I’ve recently been learning python so I’ve decided to write down some of the things that took are pretty basic, but can take a while to find out when transitioning from another language. This is just enough to get started but doesn’t include some of the really interesting stuff that you’ll be able to do once you get going.

Useful VIM Settings for working with Python

The reason this tutorial was created: basically I was tired of explaining vim usage on irc, and found myself doing it repeatedly, at the same time, I was too lazy to sit down and write my own "real" vim tutorial (I ignored the fact that I spent 10x the time explain stuff to people on line than it would have taking me to write a tutorial). So after one conversation explaining a large chunk of vim usage, I pulled it out of the logs, and published it (cropped and modified of course) here.
