there were quite a few people that wanted to get involved but just didn't know where to do so, they didn't know where the community was focused, they didn't have any specific areas that they wanted to address themselves and just didn't know where to begin. There were also a number of people that would like to help out with core development, but not as the primary creator of a patch/feature. These people want to write a test, write some documentation or review a patch to move an issue on from its current state. I am one of these people.
