First off, read the developer guide: http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/developer/ and maybe also the old one: http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/Developers+Guide Maybe read some introductory material to Spring dependency injection and Maven. If you don't have a specific objective, I'd say, look around the the issue tracker. This could be a decent starting point: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQuery=project+%3D+GEOS+AND+fixVersion+%3D+%222.0.2%22+AND+resolution+%3D+Unresolved+ORDER+BY+due+ASC%2C+priority+DESC%2C+created+ASC Pick an issue that seems like it could interest you. And then try to piece things together, understand how GeoServer classes work, run GeoServer, using the Start.java, in the debugger and step through the code. No doubt you'll start finding holes in the documentation, and at that point you can start contributing back improvements javadocs or to the developer guide, we can review and then commit. Solving the first issue might take a while, but don't get frustrated, GeoServer is big and takes time to pick it up. Docs improvement will be appreciated and you're in the best position to notice missing stuff that we just take for granted.
