The first thing to do is install Plone and learn a bit about it. For the 
text transforms you'll need to look at the existing packages as well as 
the partially completed one, and see what is currently possible and 
what's missing. A good way of doing that would be to find out what 
transforms are being used and which aren't, and see why that is.

For the Dexterity Schema specification you will need to experiment with 
creating new dexterity content types and seeing how people are currently 
specifying schemata. That project needs a lot of fleshing out as to how 
things are recognised for the parsing, which will likely be the bulk of 
the work, so start thinking about how to do that.
