It's been a very long time since I've done any development, but after watching Songbird spiral off downward, I realized I really should get back into it.
It seems like every time I find a music play I really like, it goes south... and maybe by getting more involved I can help prevent that from happening. Or at least it'll be partially my own damn fault.
So I've got a 32b Windows 7 box, and absolutely no dev tools on it at all. A blank slate.
What do I need to do, in order to be able to
A) build a version of Nightingale (what tools to install & configure, how to set up the environment, pull a branch down, etc)
B) start contributing to development and debugging.
If we can generate a nice step-by-step list, I'll happily refine it into something for the Developer Intro page of the wiki.
My skills are rusty, but... it's past time to get them shined up again, and start helping out. And I'd like to make it easier for others to do the same.
Thanks in advance,
