New developers looking for a place to join in

Hello,

    I've already briefly spoken with a few of you on the IRC channel, but it
was mentioned that a mailing would probably drum up a few more ideas.  I'm
one of three students in a group that's enrolled in a second-year
programming course at Simon Fraser University; our course is an open source
C++ systems programming course and we've been instructed to work on the
mozilla codebase (this excites all of us).  After some intitial
brainstorming and code/documentation reading, we've come to a consensus that
we'd like to help with the SVG support in firefox.  What do you have to do
with this?  Well, we're still in the project planning stage and we'd like to
hear from you what sections of the code would fit well with a novice group
like us and could benefit from a three-month development push on our part.
Essentially we're looking for low-hanging fruit and a helpful hand as we
venture into this codebase.  I can't speak for everyone in our group, but I
certainly expect this to be the beginning of a long relationship with this
code.
    So, to recap, hello, it's nice to meet all of you, and what can a group
of novices do to help?
