So, stemming from the Patch of the Week / Focus discussions, here's yet another thing we can do (independently of either of those).

The idea is to create a "Contribute" link in the menu on the left. This link would lead to a page where we describe how to contribute to development (write a patch, post to tracker, discuss, improve, when you think it's ready and you're willing to fix problems, post to -dev, etc) and documentation (update wiki, patch against manual, etc). This page would have the summary of a "process" for getting attention to patches you've created and think are done as well as having links to pages like SimpleGuideToCompiling, etc. We could also summarize the common hurdles / requirements that tend to get in the way of new contributors, like our general desire that memory use be as low as possible, and that things should work on every target (when applicable) and so forth.

So, here's what I'm asking: Feedback from all of y'all as to what this page should/could contain and/or mention. I'm obviously going to miss some things. After I've got some feedback, I'll post a draft of what I think the text of the page could look and sound like for further discussion.
