The one thing it may take a little while to realise is that Python is
deceptively simple.

The bitpim-cvs-checkins mialing list gives you every commit, so that tells
you what code is actually changing and who did it.

I do post a list of little projects that need to be done every few months
to this list.  There should be something in the archives.  In general try
and find a small self contained thing until you get familiar with the
codebase and way of thinking.

Then suggest an area that interests you.  For example some people care about
importing addressbook and calendar, others about printing, others about
user interface, others about specific phone models.  Being somewhat mercenary
about it, if you wanted to add something to your resume, what would it be?
