Contribute to GNOME devtools
There are a lot of things an interested person could work on, if you are just starting out I suggest mailing the gnome-devtools mailinglist
asking to be assigned tasks.
gnome-build is an ambitious project with only one person working on it. I'd bet someone with skill in perl and automake/autoconf could really help Martijn out.
If you're into language analysis, gpf is a really neat project that could probably benefit from another knowledgable person or two. Talk to Mark if you're interested.
At some point in the near future I'll be working on some more advanced visualization features in the gnome-debug framework. If you're interested in that kind of stuff, let us know.
