Not everyone who works on GNOME (specifically, or Open Source / Free
Software in general) is a hardcore coder. There are designers,
graphic artists, usability experts, and yes, even documentation
writers.
Just because you can't code is no reason not to get involved. I do
get irritated when people respond to feature requests with "get
coding" -- it's arrogant, silly, and in most cases rarely uttered by
actual project coders. Making a feature request (a good one, not just
saying "Why does project X suck so much? Fix it!", but something with
use cases, user stories, the lot) is just as valid a form of
participation as sitting down and checking out the code.
IMHO. YMMV.
