You do realize that a lot of history is all about understanding the exchange 
rates of all the different currencies? That's all math and fractions and 
nastiness (I have this great 17th century guide for money-changers with all 
the rates; how many gelderse daalders to a kleefse mark?)

It's always easiest if *you* have an idea of what you want to do (have you 
seen the KDE 3.5 screenshot tour? that kind of stuff might be right up your 
alley.) There's too many things that *could* be on the todo list to name. 
But ..

- apps need screenshots
- kpilot needs code for PalmOS sync
- we need a tool to extract docs from DBUS XML descriptions
- tooltips can always be added to controls all over the place
- media:/ needs to be ported to solaris


See, there's lots of stuff, some of it very esoteric. For plain coding, you 
could start with reading up some of the introductory documentation on 
developer.kde.org (and complaining if it's no good) and then picking bugs 
from the bug system and working on them. The Junior Jobs (there's a link on 
bugs.k.o) are also a good place tpo start.
