Actually, this is the page designed to help people get involved in MeeGo: http://meego.com/community It was completely re-written with what you mentioned above in mind several weeks ago. I just made a couple of additional tweaks to the page today based on some of the feedback in this thread. We should probably highlight it on the home page or link to it with a getting involved button. Maybe Quim can incorporate this in his updates for 1.1? The other page (http://meego.com/about/contribution-guidelines) was created to make it easier for people to contribute code to MeeGo, since that is a little more complicated and every project has a slightly different process. I probably need to give that page a new title and maybe move it under the community section.
