If you include in it the page from LightningIsMyName that it links to,
definitely...
Call me cynical, but someone that needs really more detailed
instructions will likely not have the programming background to be a
useful Gimp developer. Of course I expect potential Gimp contributors to
be somewhat "already-knowledgeable", at least in the basics of Linux
application development. Lines have to be drawn somewhere...

Are you saying you think keen people who can program will generally be
able to follow this, because it's a simple cook-book recipe to build
from git?

Until we provide a clear step-by-step guide (on say Debian) to
getting GIMP compiled from git, only the most highly-motivated and
already-knowledgeable people will be *able* to contribute.
