Need to make it as easy as possible to get started contributing to boto. Point out some resources on how GitHub and forking works. Briefly walk them through forking, creating a branch in their fork, making the changes, pushing, and doing a pull request. Refer to GitHub's many resources so we don't get stuck maintaining that portion.

For docs, let them know what packages are required (Sphinx and I think M2Crypto), show them the Sphinx doc index. Point out the file structure of our docs. Show them how to compile docs.

Any other ideas?
