Hi,
Howdy Wally,
I'd like to participate but have many questions.
You are most welcome. Look at this page[1] for more details on how you can start contributing to the gNewSense project.

Do you have a live IRC channel I can access without a lot of hassle? Or perhaps a forum?
Yes, we are on IRC at irc.freenode.net on the #gnewsense-users channel. For details on how to join the channel, go here[2].
http://www.gnewsense.org/Main/GetHelp We don't have a forum though (as of now).
I just want to get started in Linux and help support a good distro.
Wally, Linux is just a kernel and not the whole operating system. It is appropriate to call the operating system (the distro) as GNU/Linux -- "GNU operating system with Linux as the kernel". For more info on this read this essay[3] written by Richard Stallman.
