Just wanted to say welcome!

Fab, I see you've already found the Activity Team pages on the wiki, that 
should lead you to the resources to get you up and running. Once you have your 
dev environment running comfortably (I use a mix of XO-1 laptops and my Mac 
laptop running a VirtualBox VM of Fedora with Sugar installed as its desktop) 
one way to help contribute could be to adopt an un-maintained Activity. This 
usually involves:

- getting familiar with Python, and some GTK+
- learning enough git to get you by using the repositories at 
http://git.sugarlabs.org 
- keeping an eye on tickets filed at http://bugs.sugarlabs.org for your adopted 
Activity
- releasing .xo bundles from time to time at http://activities.sugarlabs.org
- uploading the source to http://download.sugarlabs.org so distro packagers 
have easy access

Regards,
--Gary
