You don't necessarily need to start with those tickets ;-)
Find the area you find yourself comfortable with, and take a look at the bugs
in that area.

Welcome, Craig! :)

This kernel list doesn't seem to get used much.
You probably want to subscribe to these:

Most development discussion apart from website
management
http://www.freelists.org/list/haiku-development

Bugs and commits lists
http://developer.berlios.de/mail/?group_id=2556

And maybe the old development list, which is still in
use but with less development discussion these days.
http://www.freelists.org/list/openbeos

Cheers,
Jonas.

Thank you for the information.  I'll see what looks like a good place to get 
my feet wet.

It still has a purpose, though :-)

Anyway, welcome, Craig!
