New to OpenSource? Don't worry, quite easy. Just write some code,
documentation, discuss with us...

If you want to help developing some knowledge are required: 
- use a editor (I think not your problem)
- some base uses of tools: 
 - diff
 - cvs
 - doxygen

Some thing that can be done:
- review lidtds documentation
- test code on various platform and with different database versions
- review code (fix FIXME, implements TODO)
- implement new code (see TODO file or do whatever you want)
- read documentation and improve it.

Oh.. don't worry for certifications.. I don't attend any sql server
course (only a ANSI SQL course)
