Although I should point out that The OO.o efforts have a different focus (although not necessarily out of scope for us) 2) in understanding the ApacheWay. It's the Incubators job to ensure the project is working well in this regard . ComDev has been increasing it's efforts to develop entry level docs for newcomers, and we've started to document some of our internal (often unwritten) knowledge. I'm pleased to say Dennis Hamilton has already helped us fix up a few issues as a result of this proposal. The proposal already has a request for a comdev mentor. I'm considering my time availability and encourage others (ComDev or otherwise) to consider signing up.
