Hi and welcome,
thanks for your offer to help - we were just discussing today in the
irc-channel that there are some people in our current team who are
willing to guide newbies through the process (get src code, build,
run, modify something, try writing something new, send in patches, etc).
If you have ability, please join #reactos on freenode irc network. If
not, then email is allright (ask questions right here, so other can
read and learn too).
WBR,
Aleksey Bragin.

Dear friends,
We are 3 undergrad comp sc. and IT students from India. We have
some coding experience but have never worked for the Open Source
Community as developers. Yet we have always admired the concept and
used FLOSS stuff like GNU/Linux.
We came across ReactOS project and got really interested in it. We
really want to contribute to the development of React OS and since
we are new in Open Source development, we would require your
guidance and support in stuff like understanding the code, building
the build environment etc.
Among other shortfalls that we have, we haven't programmed much on
Windows platform (almost always Linux ie) and hence know little
about the Windows API. But we are eager to learn and can definitely
learn parts of the API as long as you can guide us.
We humbly request you to guide us and give us some problems so that
we can try and support this community. A lot is left to be done in
ReactOS and it would be great being a part of such a project.
Also we are better at writing C codes than reading them ( like
almost everyone ;) ) and hence would request you to give us some
problems that we can write from stratch rather than bug fixing that
would require reading all codes.
But we are ready to contribute in any way you feel we can as
developers and support this community.
