Sure, it's a pretty complex set of packages. But still, there should be
a way to describe something that is doable in one evening. For example,
you could explain somewhere that a good way to start to contribute is to
install openstack, and try to reproduce a bug that was not reproduced
yet.

I agree that this is not a ground-breaking contribution, but people need
a way to start, and still, it's a way to contribute something useful.
