Hi Lucus,

Nice to meet you. In general, this is a good time to hang out on the
lists, the forum, and especially IRC, just talking with other users,
and getting to know the developers. IRC and the devel list are the two
best places to discuss your ideas. Of course the project ideas listed
on the wiki are just that - ideas for possible projects for students.
As you discuss issues with the devels, you can clarify your own
proposal.

Also, you will want to build Amarok from source now, and get used to
that process. See here for a local build:

All the best,

Valorie
