I'm having a slight feeling of déjà vu here :)

That's a very reasonable choice. Alternatively, we need to make some
updates to totem docs as the UI changed recently, and there's some
work left in gnome-photos, I think (which was a newly documented
project for the last release). Chances are that you'll need to jhbuild
the application, regardless of which one you go for. If you need a
jhbuild guide, see https://wiki.gnome.org/HowDoI/Jhbuild

Just in case you didn't know, the next team meatup will be at Open
