Oh, definitely, but let's not lose sight of the main idea-

I think that the real issue here is that adding a few elements of 
structure would make more people feel like they could start to 
participate, and more importantly, motivate.

To comment on the original suggestion, those who don't want to work on 
the suggested package are in no way compelled to. It's just a common 
starting point.

The team has done a good job of making all the information available for 
the highly motivated to get themselves going, but if you want wider 
participation, you'll probably benefit from offering a second, more 
structured approach for the participants to "cut their teeth" and gain a 
little confidence.
