We can have a presence online anyway if somebody needs help, but we can schedule something better for the next week. > I was thinking of doing something similar to Ubuntu's "One Hundred > Papercuts" [1]; having a good, up-to-date task list and quick reviews > should encourage new contributors. That's a great idea!

I don't know how the situation is now. For the gnome-shell, instead, I use their script to compile it, and it works pretty well: the problem is that (for me) is an half-baked experience, since I'm not using the latest version of GNOME, but the last stable release, so it's not the real whole experience, but it gives you a pretty good idea about how the shell works. I never checked out the PPA, but using a PPA means people have to be on a Debian-based distribution (don't even know if it will work on Debian though). It's an option for some, but not for all.
