Unless you are doing documentation, bug tracking, or development there is no use in going through all that work building and installing it. There are many parts still broken or not developed yet, and the gnopernicus project is moving to a new API with the start of Gnome 2.1 in cvs. Which means many libraries will be broken, etc, and it is a big hastle. My recommendation for everyone on the list is just hold on to your hat, and wait for the final release. That way the bugs will be fixed, the libraries will be in sink, and distributions such as Red Hat have already said they will pick up the software and bundle it in there distribution as soon as it is ready for them to do so.
