Ping!
I think we should add the documentation now.

Do you think that the setup and build instructions will change significantly as we fix the remaining build and link errors? If not, can we at least start the documentation now? Besides the build and link errors, I don't expect any of the instructions to change: the build scripts will automatically pull in the required version of the Android NDK and set-up the environment automatically. The only way in which it really differs from current Chromium builds is that it needs the "--chromium-android" command line flag rather than the "--chromium" one. In that sense, starting documentation right now would be fine. Do you only want to document the current building step, or also include (more hypothetical) differences in how we will be handling tests?
As discussed, let's start a bare-bones doc now. > Do you only want to document the current building step, Yes, let's keep it simple for now.
My apologies for the delays! With r102700 the necessity of updating with "--chromium" the first time was removed, and when looking at the Chromium page to update the docs I noticed that I hadn't actually added it yet. Hereby done, so marking this as fixed. http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/Chromium?version=24#BuildingonAndroid
