(Which I'm not defining here only because I'll > figure it out if/when we're generally agreed this is a Good Thing.) I think it's OK. Tho it might be worth splitting it into a few, more targeted parts. E.g. one could be "how to submit a patch" and another could be a "primer for new committer". They should be as short as possible, to try and make sure even the unmotivated read it. One detail: I'm not completely comfortable with the GSoC section. While GSoC is a nice source of funding I (and I believe the FSF as well) has some reservations about it in general (e.g. the restrictions on nationals of stigmatized countries like Cuba, Iran, ...), so I'm not sure I like advertising it on our web site (although I have advertised it on this very list just a few days ago).
