My 2 cents: I found it easy to dive into gnome bug fixing and code 
contributing - the barrier was low, in other words.

Except jhbuild. It is pretty amazing in what it does, but I found it 
very challenging to set up and get work reliably. Getting it to work 
took a lot of googling, and exporting of various environment variables 
that I barely understood (library paths, etc).

I think some "proven" jhbuild recipes for current Ubuntu and Fedora 
distros would be very helpful, somewhere on the gnome web site.
