Thanks. Unfortunately I still haven't setup Gump myself.
I have CCed Leo Simons which has been helping a lot with the kaffe setup
and gave a presentation on Gump at Fosdem. Hopefully he has some raw
estimates on resource numbers.

General setup instructions are at:
http://gump.apache.org/gettingstarted.html

We also have to come up with a free workspace for gump. The default has
some non-free binary dependencies. One interesting idea would be to have
gump depend on the actual unstable/experimental Debian packages
themselves (but building them from source of course). Gump normally uses
current CVS sources. But for Debian it might be more important to get a
current state of Debian testing/unstable/experimental overview using the
Gump. Since that is what your users are going the got in the end.

Cheers,

Mark
