Translators, artists, and documentors are all welcome to join the
foundation. There are many members in the foundation who haven't
written a line of code in many years (say, Jeff Waugh) but they have
contributed, so are members.
Drawing icons, translating, writing a small program, or writing
documentation is all it takes to be a member of the foundation, you
don't need to work on GNOME full-time.
