Re: [platform-ui-dev] Oomph

I think it is an excellent idea!

I'd like to help with customizing Oomph,
    but I think I'm missing some document to understand how to make it work.

Practically, we'll need to edit the configuration:
- By changing from Latest CI Build to Latest I-Build;
- by adding both Git and Gerrit repositories,
- by adding WorkingSets tied to projects coming from different repositories,
- and probably want to have the Option to use different Target Platforms.

I'm asking: Do we have the ability actually to work and edit the Oomph
setup file as we need?

The reason is > Currently I'm working to create an Oomph setup,
   and the only public document I know is the Oomph authoring guide (#1).
   In my case, I was not able to get all the information I needed from
that document (see #2 and#3)
