So bootstrapping wise from the kernel's perspective, it seems like using
the linaro-android-2.6.38 tree to start would be fine. As soon as Nico
opens the 2.6.39 tree, I'll work to get a linaro-android-2.6.39 tree
available, and you can update your fetching scripts to pull from the new
branch.

>From that point, I think we just need to sort out the communication
paths. I can try to update the linaro-android tree at a fairly regular
pace (I'm thinking weekly?) with more frequent updates on demand, should
something like a fix be needed from Nico's tree. If there is a more
specific frequency you'd like to see, please let me know.

For the last cycle I've been somewhat slow at times, as it wasn't always
clear that my work (merging, resolving collisions, initial testing) was
getting used. This was mostly just starting pains as the platform build
process was being worked out. But it helps motivate me to update more
regularly if I can get some feedback as to how the last update performed
in testing. As updating a tree multiple times without anyone pulling
makes it seem like unnecessary extra effort.

Do keep me updated!
