You seem to have the same intent as many of us, notably "I don't know

you share that intent. So now, how do we get your energy firing
productively?
Since, there are two kind of uDig users, program users and extendors,
I'll presume you are interested in the second since "how to use uDig" is
kindda simple and not terribly interesting given the current state of
uDig. So if we want to help others learn to code uDig then we have a
real, long complex task.
Adrian,
I appreciate your mapping out the terrain for me. While I've done
a lot of programming, I'm not sure that I'm ready to become a developer
of uDig or geotools yet. What I would point out, however, is that
even though many of you might regard uDig as a relatively primitive
tool, for those of us working in Linux it looks really good, and it
has some crucial features that ArcExplorer doesn't (projection support,
access to PostGIS). Yes I know Grass is available, but uDig looks
and works a lot more like the ESRI tools that we learned GIS on.
So you may find a lot more Linux users coming your way, asking
questions, and (hopefully) contributing to the docs.
