Porting your skill from one project to another

Porting Skillset from one project to another ( a FOSS angle ! )
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While one goes to work of crafting a software , tools with excellent
documentation is very much essential and it is a well acknowleged
fact. Some proprietory tools really provide good documentation by
spending millions of dollars for the purpose.

The biggest challenge facing an average developer is transportation of
his skill from one project to another. Too often , the developer or
tester in question is forced to learn couple of proprietory tools and
a new lingo to be effective in the new environment.

If there is good adoption of OSS tools , the documentation will be
public and there can be a shared language for the teams in a
particular domain. I think , a lot of energy and money is spent to "re-
train" the developers when they switch the projects.
