I'm agree with keeping the barrier to let people messing with

should be stay reasonably up, but i'd like a more available training
(i'm not saying having just "the fine manual") to help more
collaborators "getting things done" in a succesfull way. This is the
idea i've started to talk with some people about a "Fedora School"
(something using Moodle or another LMS) for collaborators and more
users wanting to learn with some real-people guidance how to use free
software, how to contribute to free software / open source.
In counterpart, i think the first step to "taking a look" at tasks
lists should be very easy to take. Microblog, mylyn-eclipse, whatever
you like. Any system you like to helping people to helping us.
I think that keeping things on the wiki is the best place, we don't
want to have info spread all over the net. The issue is really how to
better organize it so that new users see it faster. It might also be
worth looking into rework the mentor program, but the issue with that
is how do you match a new contributor with a fitting mentor if they're
unsure about what they want to do?
