I would like to seriously start contributing to NumPy and/or SciPy, as much as I possibly can.
I'm sure that your help will be welcomed!
A good place to get started is helping out with documentation (see http://docs.scipy.org/numpy/Front%20Page/).
Actually, according to the Jacob Kaplan-Moss's talk at PyCon this year ( http://pycon.blip.tv/file/4881071/) (with which I am inclined to agree), documentation is probably not the best way to get started. Do check out the developer zone, maybe search the the open tickets and see if there are any bugs you want to tackle. Maybe write some tests for untested code you find. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask. And don't forget to test and document your own code! Be Well Anthony
SciPy has plenty of work required - you'll probably learn your way into the code that way. Another place to look is http://www.scipy.org/Developer_Zone. It's worthwhile learning how to work with Git and Github if you want to get patches accepted more easily.
