Yes.

I think I gave some examples in my other email. The key is that
contributing be openly welcome, have very little barriers that aren't
directly related to the code itself, and have an advantage for the
developer. The advantage, for example, to adding on to BioPerl is that
as a developer there's an awful lot of code I can easily reuse for all
the mundane stuff, my code will be seen by and be useful to a lot more
people, and I can be part of a community that I can learn from or
exchange ideas with.
