I will answer this good question in about half a year from now.
We have started in germany with building boa (board of application). Three
members of the german team will support new members to find there
way into the team. (David, Christian and I)
And we are still learning about this process. To find supporters,
to set up an educational program, to find little tasks, ...
We have good experience with our monthly meetings.
We have startet in August 2005 and as you see:

And as described in the new member process, some applicants will
have the minimum waiting time at the end of this month.
Patrick hint hint ;-)
As quick as we grow, as sooner we will need such a process. For
the moment i see it completly voluntary.
Nevertheless i am very interessed to read your opinion Jonas!
