Hi !

Of course, setting up a getting started wiki page is certainly
something we need to do - I'm not sure that we can achieve that in a
generic 'BuildStream' context but we certainly need to have one for the
'GNOME' build context.

Maybe if it turns out to be a good getting started user guide that
applies well to most any BuildStream project, we can adopt something
like it in BuildStream user facing docs too.

And thanks for getting the ball rolling on this !

I think most of the content will not be reusable, but having the layout
of the TOC setup and some examples of wiki markdown around is certainly
a good way forward.
