So I wanted to get a read on the latest and greatest before putting my hands into the wrong pie.

Thanks also for the link to the Github thread. I hadn't seen that before... perhaps it would help to make that "sticky" so it stays visible to developers. It is a couple years old, so I'm hoping that it is still relevant. I just found this one too which outlines the steps to become a Contributor:

So I'll dive into Github and see how it goes. It would be great if one of the main contributors could comment on this thread to be sure we're all on the right page. I'm sure it would confirm things for a lot of other people that are interested in helping too.
Well, not sure which sticky is referenced in the first paragraph, but I would hazard to guess that it is more in reference to bugs of currently released versions or possibly issues in 1.6.0 that affect earlier versions as well (at least affecting the latest released version). As to response to this thread, maybe one will come from the core group, but if you have read through some/many of the github issues you ought to see that lhungil is one that is somehow (related to having the time) one of the contributors. :) so, I'd take his advise on that aspect in a heart beat.

As to getting a feel for things? Well, I consider ZC software for the small busness owner (yes works for larger businesses also) that has the desire and drive to get out there. There isn't always an instruction manual on how to be successful and it is different for each niche. Further, like other aspects of the software, put your foot in/out try your best, accept comment and carry on... :) mistakes will be made, but having a good attitude about it, not taking it personal when a comment is provided and it'll all be okay. :) god luck though!
