Right.   So maybe when we do a wider "call for volunteers" we can
offer three tracks:
1) Sign up for ooo-dev and "drink from the firehose"  (our only current option)
2) A short intro on the wiki, one that doesn't exist yet, but maybe
someone can write one.
3) A longer self-paced intro on the website (what I'm working on)

Actually 2 and 3 are not necessarily separated. For example,
http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/translate.html
could probably become the "Introduction to localization" mentioned in
http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/orientation/

It might be that 2 can just be implemented as a simple page "For impatient volunteers" that suggests to take a longer approach but gives 4-5 links to the most practical pages from http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/orientation/ so that we have less duplication and still the ability to catch all types of volunteers.
