There is no category for this in the bug tracker, and I don't necessarily need to create unwanted noise there.
This morning I burned a couple of hours working out how to clone the chirp repo. Maybe I was having a particularly incompetent morning, but eventually I stumbled across the quite impressive and detailed developer docco. [1]
I can't remember where I found the link now, but it certainly wasn't where I was looking! My suggestion is that a link to this on the download page would be most excellent.
I would have done it myself, but it appears that either I really am incompetent, or the wiki is immune to strangers.
Lastly, if you've taken the time to get there it doesn't really matter, but the link to template.py on the Add a Radio dev doco [2] is broken.
