Hi Christopher:

Welcome to konqueror development! I also started working in konqueror
as a student and currently I'm doing a GSoC for it. We are need new
hands to work in konqueror so you're help will be much apprecited.
First thing you should do is to suscribe to this list =). You can also
find other KDE and Konqueror developers in IRC, server
irc.freenode.net and channel #khtml, #kde-devel.

I recomend you start by building a development environment. For
Instructions about how to do this and KDE development information in
general, take a look at http://techbase.kde.org . Then after doing
that you should take a look at konqueror code, and perhaps start
trying to help fixing some Konqueror bugs from http://bugs.kde.org -
that way you can familiarize with the code. You can also think about a
new feature for konqueror (for example privacy/stealth mode) and try
to implement it. You can also filter in bugs.kde.or for the most voted
wishes for konqueror. If you've got doubts, we'll try to answer them.
Enjoy yourself!

Greetings,
    Eduardo Robles Elvira.
