I must admit that I am pretty much of a n00b when it comes to both compiling 
manually (as in _really_ manually, not with a ready-made PKGBUILD from AUR in 
Arch or CCR in Chakra) and using git (so far the only git command I used was 
"git clone [repo]". Therefore I guess I'll need some time to get into the 
relevant workflows before I can get that branch running on my machine.

I must also admit that I'm not a real "IRC power user" who is "just there" 
most of the time and can be pinged at any point. For me it works better to 
schedule a meeting on IRC so I can arrange to be there.
The mailing list always works for me since it's asynchronous, of course :)

Myriam and me haven't talked about anything specific yet. 
I guess I'll just try to find some time to get the branch running on my machine 
(you'll notice that I've found that time when I appear on IRC asking tons of 
questions ;) ) and then I'll give you feedback. Would that be okay for you 
guys?

Cheers,
Thomas
