As a start you could work on Cole's comments on your new UI.
Obviously having a blog feed dedicated to your virtualization work would
be nice to show off your work to the world.

And we are looking forward a new community member ;)

Those are quite a bunch of questions in the same sentence. Let me split them
a bit.

 * development environment / tools:
	if you mean IDE vs text editor, which one, then this is really up
	to you and your habits. I'm a Vim user, but I'm sure there are people
	here using emacs or other things to work on the code. If you want
	tips and tricks on a specific editor / IDE, rather ask more precise
	questions here or on IRC.

 * style of coding:
	when entering a new community, the best is to mimic the code style
	in other parts of the project.

 * tests:
	see `python setup.py --help-commands` for the commands to be used
	for testing and various other checks

 * comments/documentation:
	for the comments, it's the usual trade off between too many
	(creating noise) and not enough (hard to understand).
	As for the documentation, I'm only aware of the man files.
