- Drupal for Firebug - !!! - module and an extension!!! awesome!!
- modules that are cool -> admin menu, devel, simpletest, logintobbogan, xdebug (php degugger)

source code and config management

check in the entire source tree
organize the sites/all modules directory... sites/all/modules/dev sites/all/modules/userstuff etc
check in clean source for 3rd party modules.... not edited modules - obvious really...

automation and config testing
use build tools
