It doesn't sound like the right place to me.
I think a wiki area for new participants with links to various kinds of
projects they might help with is a better way to direct people to things
they can help with.
The wiki already has a start to this where new people can categorize themselves
and find at least some information of particular interest to them. I haven't
followed those links very far, so i don't know what level of detail is there.
