Hello.
We have instructions how to setup development environment on the wiki: 
http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Building+with+oi-userland . They can be a 
bit out-of-date (at least it's not possible to update from /dev to 
/hipster now), so you have to install system from OI Hipster ISO: 
http://dlc.openindiana.org/isos/hipster/.

The list of TODO projects is available here - 
http://wiki.openindiana.org/display/oi/TODO+list

You can choose software you are interested in and help enhance / update 
it (programming languages, web servers, what else). For example, I'd 
gladly see php 5.6 in userland. Or hhvm.

The other extensive work is related to porting software from legacy 
consolidations to oi-userland. If you are interested in desktop systems, 
you can look at XNV. It's a vast job. If you are interested in this, I 
can share some components which I worked on earlier. Also I see that 
some Xorg components appear in ec-userland  - 
https://github.com/everycity/ec-userland/ .
Now I'm slowly porting JDS software to oi-userland aiming to update gtk. 
It's necessary if we want to move to Gnome 2.32. But I'm currently short 
of time, so this task can take a while.
