First, you're assuming that there exists amongst the OpenBSD developers a desire ``to encourage people to enter the development cycle.'' I kinda doubt that that's the case. More developers often isn't a good thing; see ``The Mythical Man-Month'' for a popular treament of the problem. But, if you're serious, one good way would be to follow the changes made to the code -- after all, that's the whole point of a public CVS repository. When you find something that you can point to and say, ``I know why so-and-so did that,'' then you can go looking for other things that would benefit from the same treatment. And if you don't understand why the changes are being made, you need to improve your coding skills to the point that you do.
