    The wiki isn't bad.  Also look at this old blog post for building small bits:

    After our Surge conference this year, we're having an Illumos Day.  Would an intro-to-new-developers talk be useful?

    You might as well spend the effort to upstream bits of illumos-nexenta that you find interesting.  My next mail on this thread will discuss this.
