No, menial / easy tasks are also greatly appreciated and important. Everyone can help in some way. Some often overlooked parts which everyone can do: - Subscribe to @hackers, run the latest code, lurk on IRC. - Writing / fixing documentation: fix incomplet parts, typos, manpage syntax bugs etc. - Compiling and testing on various platforms, think: Linux (musl, glibc), OpenBSD, NetBSD, etc, compilers: gcc, clang, etc. - Test the programs for correctness (like FRIGN said), also check if the program works as described in the documentation. - ...etc...
