I'm happy to chip in where I can with some contribution to documentation
(i think an "about" document and a starter guide with non-free stuff
hived out would be cool) and community work. I have no development
skills so I can't help with that. 

I really like the idea! Who knows how much effort it will take? Is the
current component scheme tight enough that gnubuntu would simply need
restricted and multiverse trashed, or is it a bit more complicated than
that?
