Stephan, thanks for writing the initial
version of 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Indigo/Contributing_to_Indigo_Build

You were not only correct in what you
wrote, but your willingness to jump in, participate, and contribute is
exactly the kind of spirit the Simultaneous Release is all about ... and
is refreshing to see exhibited by a "newcomer". 

I added a few tips and tweaked the formatting,
but your steps were correct. Of course, I hope mine is not the final edit
... it could still be improved. As others read it, and go through the process,
please update with corrections and improvements. Perhaps someone will add
some pretty screen shots someday?

The field will be added eventually to
Portal, I assume, but in the meantime, jump right in. 

Wayne, can you herd bug 32122 to get
flag added ... or, at least comment on outlook.

I'm currently preparing the Object Teams Project for joining
Indigo.
However, the switch to the b3 aggregator leaves me without a simple
howto for creating a contribution file. Note that
 http://wiki.eclipse.org/Indigo/Simultaneous_Release_Plan
still points to  (look for "Contributing to Indigo Build"!):
 http://wiki.eclipse.org/Helios/Contributing_to_Helios_Build
where a nice example with explanation is given. Yet, it appears to
be an out-dated model.
For Sequoyah, our .build file was migrated to .b3aggrcon
file, and their structure is very similar, so our changes were minimal.
You could begin with any of these files, since the conversion
from the old format to the new one is pretty straightforward.
You can check our files if you want. :)

Is an updated howto on it's way? What's the recommended
way -
preferably without requiring me to read tons of b3 documentation :)
David Williams has already mentioned some benefits and
improvements from this new file at http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cross-project-issues-dev/msg04575.html (and
a little bit more at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=312645).
We've read it, and it makes sense for us. :)
 
Also, I wasn't quite sure, if I need an official +1 for
joining, or if setting
the simultaneous release flag in the portal would suffice to start
everything?
I don't know if we are missing something, but we still
don't see an Indigo flag in the portal... :(
