to be eligible for testing you need to join the g+ group at
https://plus.google.com/communities/102264813364583686576
after joining, you need to explicitly enable beta versions for the software at

To build everything from source, simply checkout the source and build using gradle on the build system you need
- JDK 1.7
Then you need to use the Android SDK manager to install the following components:
- ANDROID_HOME environment variable pointing to the directory where the sdk is installed
- Android SDK Tools 22.6.2
- SDK Platform Tools 19.0.1
- Android SDK build Tools 19.0.3
- Android 4.4.2 (API 19) (at least SDK Platform Rev. 3)
- appcompat v7 rev. 19.1 (Android Support Library + Android Support Repository)
The project layout is designed to be used with a recent version of Android Studio (currently 0.5.4)
