Sure, I thought about app on earth was to use the goa token and access
online accounts, but these answers make sense.

I did not know about the debate "is it gnome core overview" or "gnome

could be useful for brand new contributors, but seems another topic, and
wiki + blogs are already a very nice starting point.
