Steven, I normally just lurk on this list, but decided I would speak up if only to echo the sentiment of your e-mail. I find it very difficult to figure out where/how I could help based on the materials available from the marketing site. E.g. the "To Do" list (How To Help page) indicates it was last updated back in 2004, several items relate to OOo 1.1 (and thus seem obsolete yet they remain on the list), it is difficult (I haven't figured it out yet) to tell if anyone is working on an item, and it is difficult to figure out any priority or dependencies.
