Hello Guys, I am really happy to see my question generated some quality discussion. It is encouraging and I hope other guys stumbling upon the post will contribute two cents or so.
One thing I can do is to take your suggestions and start with the course materials and the textbooks. Then, classify them based on suitability and to some extent create the "gnu-radio for the CS guys" intro starter pack. The only way to have more people who would like to help with documentation and alike is to create some entry point to the community so it grows. Of course, becoming more inclusive will create ground for emails starting with: Hi Sir, > <incomprehensible stuff, here is my code, send me the solution> > Sincerely yours, But yeah, what can you do...
