People interested in volunteering can expect lots of help and interest, but 
should go into it knowing that it's a highly complex multi man year project, 
and definitely not a summer project or "free weekends" sort of thing.  I'm 
happy to be proven wrong on that point, but it would be dishonest for me to 
suggest it will be easy.  :-)
