This is a great idea but I think that if people are going through the
install process they are already kinda sold on the idea and there are
other places we can present it (maybe a .pdf on the desktop that is a
quick start guide)  Could we use this idea to advertise areas where
people could contribute? We could take say Marketing, Ambassadors, Docs,
Design, and $somethingElseNontechnical and have section proclaiming that
you don't have to be a programmer to contribute to Fedora.
