Hi Chris.  Welcome to the community!  I know you've been talking with
Jason and we're excited to have Brodart's interest in supporting

I think the first step to getting heavily involved will be to
understand the current conventions of this community and learn how we
work.  There's a "how to contribute" primer up at
http://open-ils.org/documentation/contributing.html which describes
the general path to code contribution.

After that, find an itch to scratch (yours or your employers) and
start asking questions.  We'll be happy to help.
