Hey guys, I've got some cycles opening up and I'd like to help out a bit with IDLE development. I'm reading the guide now and I'll be in touch.
I'm especially interested in helping the existing contributions get tested and finalized so they can get pushed into the latest python 2 and 3 releases. There's also an issue in OSX with the Preferences window, where the ok and apply buttons have the wrong font size. I'll attach a screenshot here and see if there's an issue already filed.
