That's right, but this is exaclty the reason why having it on the
front-page is not desireable. I thought the general agreement is "target
the front page for end-users/newbies".

Developer sounds like "pages restricted to developers" (what it
currently is).

So the opposite makes more sense: Have the tab read "Contributing" and
link 
http://www.openoffice.org/contributing.html

This page already has the "programming" as well as "other ways".


The current developer-page is more suitable for a "ressources" section.
