That sounds great - thanks!

For us who don't know puppet, can you give a very short 
completely-for-dummies description of exactly what to install, what to 
run and where to look? Perhaps something like 
http://docs.kallithea-scm.org/en/latest/contributing.html#getting-started .

Is this something you ultimately would like to see upstreamed or should 
the docs mention it? Either way, contributions would be appreciated ;-)
