Different contributors join at different stages for differing motivations. There's absolutely nothing wrong w/ putting this out there now and asking for help. There is never a perfect time. You can always have more tests. The well designed, general-yet-comprehensive, clear API you thought you needed might actually be entirely wrong once 5 or 10 people start submitting patches. It is never wrong or a bad idea to ask for help. Whether you're at the idea stage, only have some hacked up barely working code, or are a mature project with a stable set of APIs. Asking for help is well, exactly that... asking for help.
