One strategy is to package the entire dependency graph of GNOME
Documents privately, and then submit them when the whole thing is ready.

You could modify that strategy by sending each package for review as you
go, but without merging them into master until everything is done.

You could modify it again by having us commit each package to master
when it looks good, and then making adjustments later. The benefit of
this is that it's very easy for other people to know how to help you
with this project, for example by packaging some of the dependencies on
their own.

I'm not sure what the best strategy is. It's up to you and anyone else
who comments :) Please advise!
