Well, if you have specific compilation errors we're happy to hear about them, 
they should be easy to solve.

Thats not a problem. the Google guys want to avoid the hassle of having to pay

requirement of only one person working on it. You're still free to ask for 
help and to receive help or feedback, after all thats what we want :-)
