Re: [gnome-love] video guide for gnome/jhbuild

[Hashem <hnasarat gmail com>]

I'd be interested in helping out. I redid some of the jhbuild tutorial 
pages on live.gnome.org in January, so I understand a bit. Would 
probably need some help on best-practices (i.e. smoke-testing and 
tarball installation).

How much longer will jhbuild be recommended until ostree is ready? Is 
the transition scheduled yet?
