Hey Jeffrey, definitely the right place, though it be relatively low
traffic.  Welcome!

Channel #evergreen on Freenode IRC is another good place for more
real-time chatter.

Hrmm.  My advice would be to install the system, play with it, and
then start figuring out how it works.  Note where you have difficulty
and where the process would have benefited from more documentation.
If such would-be documentation falls within your mission scope,
hurray.  :D  You may also want to start with OpenSRF before moving on
to Evergreen proper.

Take a look at http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=dev:contributing_code

And http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=dev:start

And particularly the OpenSRF intro and the development workshop at
http://evergreen-ils.org/~denials/

A lot of the API has documentation bundled along with the methods in
the Perl, but I'm not sure how much in the way of POD you'd find
there.
