Actually, I am facing the same problem. I have a lot of domain expertise in Accounts, Costing and commercial applications I also have adequate expertise in software development under windows platform.

Saswata having dev experience in some *any* platform helps. And you should concentrate on leveraging your strengths rather than weaknesses.

But in Linux, I am too, like Suhit, a newbie. What do we have to do when we become a "mentor" for a project ? How is this thing actually going to work ?

I don't think you need anything else except domain expertise :)

I want to be a part of the project, but am more worried about messing things up for others.

Ha ha ... your worries are probably justified, but everyone learns on the go. As long as everyone learns *you'll learn programming Linux, the programmer will learn about your domain*, things will be fine.
