Throughout my GSoC, I've been constantly corrected on code-quality practices and variable name conventions consistently. I didn't use the indentation styles of KStars initially, and that's now corrected. I didn't use appropriate variable names in several places. Thankfully, when I don't name a method or variable aptly, an email lands in my inbox suggesting the correct name :D I think code quality is important, because, as my co-developer says, code is read far many more times than it is written - which means it is better to write it once, clearly. Thankfully, I have a branch for my project, so I commit to the repository as soon as I'm done. Seamless version control, without a distributed VCS. :D Ahh…

I won't make this mistake twice. Better learnt on a non-professional project, I say. And thanks for commenting, and congrats on having a debian page :-D. @Kumar: I agree completely.

Read this word carefully: _doomed_ (maybe this might work: <em>doomed</em>) ;-) You are doomed if you want a professional project with outside participation (outside yourself that is) without a VCS.
