Have you looked at Gentoo ? They contain also a repository[1] with GNOME 3.

I think we should add specific instructions with in case of:
- Fedora, a Fedora 15 alpha iso image or upgrade from F14.
- OpenSUSE, a one click install for the repository.
- Ubuntu, a link for apt to add the repository to the sources.list
- Other distros, report to us if there's any packages available or use jhbuild.
Probably we should use any newbies guide for jhbuild.

After this we should make sure that if there is any installation
problem to report to distros and not to GNOME.

Cheers
Luis
