Thanks for contacting the team about helping.

There are plenty of areas to help with, for example, we are in deep need
of two very important pieces of functionality:

	* Regression tests for all of our test suites. See the Mono 0.25
	  announcement for a list of the existing tests, and you will
	  see where we are lacking:

		http://www.go-mono.com/archive/mono-0.25.html

	* You can help with the API documentation effort: we are trying 
	  to document both the Gtk# API (by using existing Gtk docs) and
	  the .NET API.

They might seem boring initially, but they both allow you to *learn* a
lot about the API, and see what is missing, and what could be improved. 
Plenty of existing Mono developers started that way.
