these can still contribute - they can help with e.g. handling bugreports
(http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:KDE/Screening), attending the KDE IRC meetings
and helping with non-technical tasks (http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/Meetings) or
whatever else turns up.
All of these require only experience, which can be gained, certain level of
intelligence, and, of course, the time and will to do it. Helping with any of
these can help to reduce the workload of developers, who then can do more of
the technical work that will make KDE better. For example, I've recently been
spending a considerable amount of time just wading through the huge number of
KDE bugreports at bugzilla.novell.com, time I could have otherwise spent e.g.
improving code.
But for people who just expect to get things for free without doing anything
you are of course right.

KDE 4 is currently not an option for serious desktop usage. Period. What
scares me, though, is the fact that it
will still not be an option in 4.3 and thus 11.2. Intermediate version
upgrades from factory are not an option, either, so that means, for
openSUSE the first working KDE desktop is still about 1.5 yrs from now...
The fact remains that the only sensible options for non-programmers like
us, are either:
