Not that I know of.

However, since you say you are a C coder and Peter says he's not, I
would prefer if you were able to work on the C source code side of things.

Unless you have an itch that you need to scratch right away, then
looking over the code is probably the best way to start.

When you have questions, as I hope you will, please post them here.

When you're ready to take on a task, let me know.  There's many things
that need doing.
