33 MB is the zipped
archive of ReactOS 0.3.1 source code.
Source code (text files) can be zipped up to ratio 10% of the original size.

We are always looking for new devs, everyone who want to help is
welcome.
Most parts of ReactOS are written in C. Some kernel-mode parts are
written in ASM.
Please join the #reactos irc channel, most of the ReactOS devs hang out there.

RosAsm and ReactOS projects are independent. The RosAsm
projects use
the ReactOS brand without permission for markting purpose, such acting
is not tolerable.

The ReactOS project uses its own build package which consists of Mingw
(+ a few patches) and NASM (and more); it's called RosBE.
