The best place to start here, apart from "simply" getting the code
checked out and built, is the GNOME2_STATUS file.  It contains the
canonical list of issues, differences and overall status of the
gnome2-porting effort.

Note that this file is only found on the 'gnucash-gnome2-dev' branch.

Well, there's README, of course.  The HACKING file, but it's a bit
light...

In terms of development environment, I use emacs.

Most of our dependencies are listed as checks in configure.in.  Given
our historical and overall dependency issues, we're definitely picky
about introducing new dependencies.

Certainly it is.  The current thread on -user is really atypical, FWIW.

Hmm.  Most of the HTML/table portions of the reports should work just
fine. Charting and graphing is a known problem; see GNOME2_STATUS for
more details.  There is a sub-branch for the GOG integration, though
there are some more recent developments (like earlier this week) not
really reflected anywhere. :/
