Welcome on board!
Just curious do you have any prior experience with Qt (3 or 4) or kdelibs?

Sure, pick your addiction:

 - Unit testing and backend conformance testing
For this, the fake backend would need some more love, in particular the 
fakecomputer.xml should be made more realistic. With a good one and scripted 
events (devices appear, or disappear), we could make a nice test suite for 
the frontend which is currently lacking.

 - Application development
Well, I welcome any person wanting to make new applications using solid. The 
more we hammer the framework the best it will be. I have no precise idea 
right now, but maybe Michaël or Davide would like help on their respective 
applications? (hardware browser and disk manager).

 - Power management
At the moment I committed a powersaved based backend for this, but I'd like to 
have also a HAL based one, so you could work on this if you want.

There's surely other area where you could work on, it surely depends on your 
tastes and you motivation. I'm just proposing a few ideas.

Regards.
