Also, they run when they realise how complicated NTFS is.
I have 3 Linux boxes and one OpenBSD box,

There's one thing you could do. Check that all our tools (ntfsprogs) compile
cleanly on OpenBSD.
Perhaps, If I come across a cheap used NT box, I can have some fun developing

To do any development, you really would need access to a Windows box.
I'm thinking of things like organizing the (raw?) documentation that you have,

The main documentation is fairly organised. There are some missing details
that could be added.

Alternatively, we need a high-level overview of NTFS to help beginners
get started.
writing support routines

Sounds good, but we have a bit of a problem with delegation. What we first
need is a manager with a big stick.
In the meantime, however, what can a Peon like myself do to support the
project?

First, join the development mailing list.
https://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/linux-ntfs-dev
Have a read of the some of the info:
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/
Have a look at the tools we already have and see if there's something you'd
like to work on.
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/man/ntfsprogs.html
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/downloads.html
Have a read of the docs:
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/readntfs.html
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/ntfs/index.html
If something isn't clear, ask on the mailing list (and keep asking until you
really understand), then write a short doc for others.
Cheers,
FlatCap (Rich)
