Awesome. The remaining tasks would be good to have broken down into
sub-projects as far as possible, as it would make it easier for others
to contribute. Along with the bootstrap instructions you already
mentioned.
A long time ago I wrote the original instructions for building Firefox
(known as Phoenix at the time) and it did help getting more help and
attention as it was easier for others to get started. It might be good
as an example of instructions:

It wouldn't hurt to have it as an idea IMO.
