I think it's OK.  Tho it might be worth splitting it into a few, more
targeted parts.  E.g. one could be "how to submit a patch" and another
could be a "primer for new committer".  They should be as short as
possible, to try and make sure even the unmotivated read it.

One detail: I'm not completely comfortable with the GSoC section.
While GSoC is a nice source of funding I (and I believe the FSF as well)
has some reservations about it in general (e.g. the restrictions on
nationals of stigmatized countries like Cuba, Iran, ...), so I'm not
sure I like advertising it on our web site (although I have advertised
it on this very list just a few days ago).
