Perhaps efl is not for the raw beginner programmer and I should focus my efforts on helping users and financial contributions to the project. I would understand if that is the case as well.
1. Learn Python
2. Go through the Python efl tutorals that are on the Bodhi github site
3. Contact you or stephan for a list of tasks

Perhaps I am biased but I think everyone should know a little python. Python is easy to learn comparatively speaking.
So steps one and two are a good start.
But truthfully not alot in Bodhi depends on python programming, some like epad esudo and so on, But overall most of our code is C.
And C is not easy to learn takes a while. But if ya can learn it slowly as you learn python.
Financial contributions are always good also. On rare occasion they make their way down to me or stefan. If we had more contributions of course this would happen more often.
Not on your list is learn how to use the tools with EFL and Bodhi, stuff like eet, edje_cc, edje_decc and get familiar with elementary_config and elementary_test. And try to figure out how themes work, that is a big one but right now Stefan and I are working on fixing all theme problems we know about. Perhaps you could help test?
And by all means contact stefan and me personally for ideas, support and 'tasks.'
Thanks for the interest it is appreciated
Otherwise contact Robert
But it helps to have an idea of what the commands can do and when you need them. It also helps to be able to write scripts to do various things that you realize need to be done but need to be done on a larger number of files or whatnot.
