I'm currently preparing the Object Teams Project for joining Indigo.
However, the switch to the b3 aggregator leaves me without a simple
howto for creating a contribution file. Note that
 http://wiki.eclipse.org/Indigo/Simultaneous_Release_Plan
still points to  (look for "Contributing to Indigo Build"!):
 http://wiki.eclipse.org/Helios/Contributing_to_Helios_Build
where a nice example with explanation is given. Yet, it appears to
be an out-dated model.
For Sequoyah, our .build file was migrated to .b3aggrcon file, and their structure is very similar, so our changes were minimal.
You could begin with any of these files, since the conversion from the old format to the new one is pretty straightforward.
You can check our files if you want. :)

Is an updated howto on it's way? What's the recommended way -
preferably without requiring me to read tons of b3 documentation :)
David Williams has already mentioned some benefits and improvements from this new file at http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cross-project-issues-dev/msg04575.html (and a little bit more at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=312645). We've read it, and it makes sense for us. :)
 
Also, I wasn't quite sure, if I need an official +1 for joining, or if setting
the simultaneous release flag in the portal would suffice to start
everything?
I don't know if we are missing something, but we still don't see an Indigo flag in the portal... :(
