Here is how I would like to proceed:
1. Test/write the JHBuild instructions for GNOME 3.14.x and GNOME
Flashback 3.14.0.
2. Package GNOME Flashback with only the Metacity session for Fedora
and EPEL. (I've never packaged something for Fedora before, but I want
to learn.)
3. After #1 and #2 are complete, focus on Compiz.
