Hi Paul, Short answer:
Shut up and hack. The same answer in more verbose form: Research is often regarded as equally valuable as cheap and useless talk in the OpenBSD community - unless it is accompanied by source code patches actually making things better. (That's an oversimplification, but i hope you get the idea.) Regarding what to work on: Almost everything can be improved. Finding out what you are interested in, what you are capable of, and finding out *yourself* what needs to be done (both in a specific situation and globally) is among the most important qualifications; attending university is one way to try and learn that, but no guarantee for actually learning it. Your question is naive and not specific enough to permit any answer that might be satisfactory.
