Maybe a series of short tutorials for people coming from Debian, Arch, Gentoo, brew on OSX, etc. Also, long shot idea: we could put together a list of bounties. Pledge amounts toward particular fixes/goals and then when someone accomplishes them they post a paypal/bitcoin address to get paid. I'm not sure how to make it binding or pay up front or resolve disputes though.
