It's fairly straightforward:

1. git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs.git && cd emacs
2. git checkout scratch/gnus-decoded
3. make
4. cp ~/.emacs.d/.newsrc.eld ~/.emacs.d/.newsrc.eld.bak
5  src/emacs

Then start Gnus, and bang on it as usual. If you do have groups with
non-ascii names, focus on those.

And that's it! If you see anything unusual at all, let me know.
Otherwise, run it until you get bored, and then go back to your usual
setup.

Thanks!
