I would like to see how to contribute to an linux open source project
and start coding patches in the beginning and then start features.

For example, where to find information, where to look to apply patches
on how its compiled.

For example:

A friend tried joining amarok, and he got bogged down at just creating
the development platform however there was no documentation on the
initial setup.

Or if you wanted to help contribute to the kernel, (is this possible
on your own time) or linux utilities.

Where would you start as a beginner coder?
