Hi Ryan, There is always a big need for developers for Sugar. We always welcome and appreciate the help! There are several ways to develop in Sugar. You can go the Etoys route.

You can make an activity using Pygame: http://www.pygame.org/news.html There's also the Karma project which relies on HTML5 and javascript. I know that there are plenty of Flash developers out there but currently it is very hard to integrate it to Sugar. I will be teaching a 2-day course on Etoys at APC from April 19th-20th. Please let me know if you're interested in attending. I would like to talk to you more about creating synergy between our groups.
