Steve,

You might also want to take a look at http://apache.org/dev/,
particularly http://apache.org/dev/contributors.html and
http://apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html.

After you've had a chance to look those documents over, I would start by
picking the project you are most interested in and getting the latest
source from cvs/svn.  As you start to use/learn about the project,
you'll probably find areas you'd like to fix/improve.  Some projects
have a "help wanted" section of their site (not nearly enough); but for
the ones that do not, you can simply send an email to the dev list
asking if there's an area that needs help.

The links above will tell you much, much more.

Cliff
