Hi,

I'm very interested in getting started with FreeBSD development. My interest=
s are wide but specifically core OS, performance, scheduling, cryptography, p=
erhaps filesystems etc.=20

I have seen the "Ideas" list and there is some good stuff there but those ar=
e fairly complex/large tasks. Where can I find something more basic to addre=
ss to get myself familiar with the process of contributing?

My motivation for contributing is to learn more about the FreeBSD kernel and=
 core OS and to put my skills toward FreeBSD which I find interesting and wo=
rthwhile. I am  knowledgable in C, scheduling, data interface, somewhat also=
 in cryptography

Thanks,

Robert=
