First of all: Thank you for your interest in participating, Mastacheata.
And a very huge thanks to kilburn for the good answers. Few things I'd like to add:

As kilburn said: you are free to develop the part you like most (even if you will get in contact with the other parts). For you it this is PHP. ispCP OMEGA is predominantly written in PHP. Therefore, we need more PHP Coders than C or PERL.
Where to start: This question is not easy. But I try to give you a hint. We organize our tasks in Milestones. The next open Milestone will be
Omeag 1.1.0. You can find all open bugs there. If you like an unassigned Ticket there, choose it, work on it, add a patch. (
#1257 is okay, too.)

Exactly. Sometimes I try to assign tickets to developers where I think they fit. Developers are always free of rejecting this tasks.
If you need any help, feel free to contact someone of the ispCP staff. Internally we have a list with contact data and you will find your way around.
If you have any problems with the code, members of the team or your task, please contact me.
I hope we convinced you, that you find your place in the ispCP Team and there is only left to say: Welcome on board!
