I'd suggest instead pointing to it - but I couldn't find these docs
online anywhere - are they on library.gnome.org somewhere?

(just now found it, with a site:lgo filter on Google - it didn't appear
in any of the first 3 pages of a search for "gnome devtools-install"
otherwise): http://library.gnome.org/devel/devtools-install/nightly/

It definitely looks like Lennart has provided some more detail on
getting started on Fedora than is available here:
http://library.gnome.org/devel/devtools-install/nightly/fedora.html.en

Perhaps someone would like to update devtools based on his tutorial?

Yeah - I guess you need a nice accessible bug first :)

Cheers,
Dave.
