I think the community could benefit if you add info (a pointer) in this thread - how to set up a build environment - policies on what goes into oe-core and meta-oe and what not (and how to deal with things that do not go into it) - a migration scenario from the current repo to the new structure (what are we doing with the existing recipes) - how to add new distro's and bsp's I know some (if not all) info has been sent around over time, but I feel it would help if this announcement would carry the info to get people started (and/or point to a web page that has the above info).
