I was reading http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_git [snip] I mean, there are two sides to this - a) people running a dev install are expected to know what they are doing; and b) someone wanting to get started / simply participate in bug-triaging / patch sign-offs could benefit from having this info in one place.

"someone wanting to get started" should be nowhere near 'git' -- it's a developer's tool and requires a dedicated (non-production) server -- or at least that's the way that Torvalds designed it ten or so years ago. Perhaps this post should have gone to koha-devel? and not the general list. And perhaps the Wiki page might mention that there are other, more suitable, ways for "someone wanting to get started"? It's not very obvious if someone stumbles across the page which could start: "This is for more advanced users who are encouraged to get involved (knowledge, time and budget permitting) in the development of the world's best library cataloguing software."
