Quite a huge list ;)

I learned a lot from discussions on mailing-lists. So keep on reading.. ;) 
Another thing I can recommend is reading developer blogs. planetkde.org is 
quite good for reading about interesting stuff going on in Qt and KDE world.

Fixing smaller issues is a good way to get into the code. And be sure, there 
will be so called "junior-jobs" for you, to get in. If you have some special 
ideas about what to do, tell them and I can keep my eyes and may be find 
something for you.

Fine! Feedback, testing, discussing ideas... That's the way most of us 
start...
