Hi Phil,
There certainly is a steep learning curve to FOP development but I would
encourage you to persevere as its very cool :). A good way to learn the
code is to start by looking at our bug list
(http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/bugs.html) or maybe contributing in a
peripheral area of FOP such as improving programmatic font
configuration, this would certainly be appreciated by many users and
wouldn't be a difficult task.
If you want to work on an fo:float implementation, just ask questions on
the mailing lists and I'm sure people will chime in and try to help
you. You may also get some ideas from from
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39777.
Best of luck,
Adrian.

Thanks Adrian,
I have expressed interest in helping, but found that is very involved. I
wished I could take training with one of the trunk developers...
