I think the community (which of course includes SUSE) could look into ways to make it easier for people to pitch in and get involved, but more importantly I think we need to do a much better job at getting the message out there about how easy it already is to be involved in the release process.
I think one significant hurdle is simply knowing which jobs need doing. For people out there thinking "I like openSUSE, I would like to help out", the first thing is finding out what there is to do and how well it matches ones skillset. We can't just say RTFW.
But aside from the day to day, practical goals, I do think we need to sit down as a project and do a much better job of communicating who we are, what we are setting out to achieve, and who we intend our distribution to be used by.
+1 to all three of those.
I think there is some merit in your ideas for a more 'business-orientated' approach, targeting SME's and turning our focus to being the 'ideal' linux distribution for SME's to use and contribute back to.
Yes, there could well be some merit to that, but SME's require stability and reliability, even more so than large enterprises.
