Hi Prasad,
Welcome to the fun! I really wouldn't be concerned about being a
"hindrance". Help is help, and we're happy to have you!
Couple things I think need some attention is that pretty soon here
we're going to have to produce some of the interceptor tests we have
planned out. There's a whole bunch of them in this list:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENEJB-142
The interceptor code is not yet functional, but writing the tests is
actually harder in a lot of ways and whoever takes that on is likely
going to have to dig through the spec quite a bit around the topic of
interceptors. But for that reason it's a great place to learn and
eventually crack into the other runtime code. Ask Mohammad or Manu :)
Another budding area is we have some additional validation needs
around some of the new EJB 3 concepts. We have a list started here:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENEJB-453
Anyone else have any ideas?

Hello all,
I would like to pitch in and help you guys, esp. with OpenEJB's
integration into Geronimo. Please let me know how I can help you.
Knowing how valuable all your time is, I don't want to pull you away
from what you are doing to tutor me. But initially if you give me
enough hints and pointers, hopefully I'll be able to ramp up quickly.
So please suggest areas where I can contribute and sections I can
tackle. Maybe I can begin by fixing some bugs for you, or implement
the low-priority TODOs that you have. Or maybe I can begin by doing
some mundane chore like running the EJB suite on G's TCK for you.
However you deem fit, however you think I can be of max help to you,
just let me know.
Let's give this a shot and see how it goes. I hope I'll be more help
than hindrance to you.
Is there an overview of the OpenEJB arch and/or build tree
structure somewhere ?
Cheers
Prasad
