As someone who has been, and continues to attempt to become involved in the GNOME project without being knee deep in code, I continue to be amazed at just how hard that is to achieve. I would love to help with project road maps, user feedback, bug testing and common issues, but have yet to find anyone interested in helping me to discover exactly how I do any of that. Where to even begin? Most developers, in my experience are resistant to anyone not knee-deep in code's suggestions, feedback, etc.
If there's non-code related stuff you need help with in Builder, I would love to know how I can contribute and help.
