I would say, definitely yes.

If you look at the web site, the foundation will be a meritocracy (I
think that Ubuntu calls it a do-ocracy, but there might be dozens of
flavours of the same concept).

My friends are working hard at opening new mailing lists, and the
localization is already active at l10n@libreoffice.org (subscription
works as for the other lists: l10n+subscribe@libreoffice.org).

We are working hard also at setting up the foundation, but in the
meantime every additional hand is really welcome, although it may be
difficult to give each one a specific role now. Things are a little
hectic at the moment (we have all reduced our amount of sleep).

You know, OOo is really huge, and TDF will not be a foundation like many
others, because it will be a baby with the size of an adult.

What I can suggest at the moment is to watch carefully the progress, and
jump on board as soon as possible.

Of course, if you have a specific question, feel free to drop me a line.
Thanks, Italo
