I added a quickstart guide at http://wiki.openstack.org/DevQuickstart with an introduction for new developers to OpenStack. It walks a newbie through setting up a development environment,  establishing accounts on all the necessary systems, and fixing bugs. I aimed for the minimum amount of information, so if anybody wants to add to it, keep that in mind. I went ahead and added a link on the BugSquashingDay page as well.
