I have made myself quite familiar with BRL-CAD:
I have download the source, compiled the programs,
I went through MGED tutorials:

http://brlcad.org/w/images/c/cf/Introduction_to_MGED.pdf
I learnt techniques of making basic shapes(rcc,rpp, spheres etc)
I learnt regions and raytracing. I found BRL-CAD quite lucid, easier,more
comfortable as compared to other softwares that I have used (eg
Autocad/Solidworks/CNC).
As for NURBS,
I understood what B-splines are,
I have understood basic Interpolation techniques of Numerical analysis.
I am currently trying to understand Algorithms for extracting lines:

I would like from your side:
1. Some more links to read and understanding concerning the project.
2. Any easy bug/problem on which I can work and create a patch.
3. Procedure to contribute to it.
