[lttng-dev] Offering to help

[David Brown]

Michel and Mathieu,

Thanks for the welcome messages. Perhaps since I would lie a "quick
start guide" myself, I should have a look at creating one first.  Is
there a guide from the first version that needs updating, or is should
I be looking to answer the FAQs in a structured way to guide people to
a quick happy result?

Dave
