Nice to hear from you, Sahil. I tried to answer you in IRC but you
left too soon. IRC can be really useful, but you have to stick around
for answers sometimes!

Actually, all your questions can be answered from the links in the
/topic of #amarok, which I will paste below:

PATIENCE: http://userbase.kde.org/Amarok/Manual :: Hack with us:
http://community.kde.org/Amarok/Development/Join :: JJ:
http://tinyurl.com/amarokjjs :: Help us fix bugs:

In addition, here is the link you need re: building. Please ensure
that you follow *every* step: git-build = check here for a local
build: http://blogs.fsfe.org/myriam/2009/09/compiling-amarok-from-git-locally-full-summary/
A detailed information about git can be found here:
http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Sources/KDE_git-tutorial

This information can be generated by typing `calc git-build` into the
channel. Many other useful tips can be searched with `calc` and
`match`, as in `match *git*`

All the best,
