Hi Reinier, These sort of thins are a great way for people to start to make a reputation for themselves in the world of Free software.
Libreoffice have their easy hacks page http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Easy_Hacks and Greg Kroah-Hartman wrote a guide to easy kernel hacks here: http://tuxradar.com/content/newbies-guide-hacking-linux-kernel So if your not a Drupal user there is still no excuse not to contribute :-) It should also be noted that these communities are really helpful. I know the first time I submitted a patch to the linux kernel it was rubbish. Greg Kroah-Hartman wrote back and instead of pointing out how stupid I was, he patiently helped me through getting the patch right and it ended up getting accepted by Linus. So its a great way of learning from the true experts as well.
