Jehan said: There are already absolutely*NO*  barrier to contribute to GIMP.

The GIMP project does not create barriers, but there is a learning-curve barrier, and a social barrier.

More discussion of psychology of nerds is in the book "Hackers and Painters". Paraphrasing: nerds don't want 
to be popular.  Its hard work to be popular.  Nerds and painters are both makers.

OpenHatch goal seems: to make developing FOSS popular among young people who want to make.
