I am excited to do so.  Are there instructions somewhere, or is it for
me to figure out?  (Sorry, the dumb questions are a result of me being
mostly clueless yet eager to learn about this new platform. :)

Yes, and I appreciate it.  My remaining problem is that repo hangs when
I try to download everything, whether I try to download replicant or the
official Android sources.  Maybe I'll stop in channel soon and see if
someone can help me.

In fact, here's where it currently hangs indefinitely:

   ~/replicant$ ../bin/repo sync

   remote: Compressing objects: 100% (18/18), done.
