Great!  Your efforts will be greatly appreciated.

I suggest you start with the wiki page here:

  http://brlcad.org/wiki/Contributor_Quickies

to give you some ideas.  Of course tackling open bugs is always welcome!

You probably ought to first use subversion and download the trunk
where active development occurs.  Then learn to build the trunk
successfully before you start working on code.  Be sure and read
INSTALL and HACKING. Initially your contributions will have to be in
patch form, but you will be granted update access after you have
demonstrated competence and care in maintaining the code.

This is a friendly place and most of the time when asking questions
you will get a friendly, and helpful, response from one of us.

I'm sure Sean or one of the other major devs will chime in later.

Best regards, and Happy New Year!

-Tom
