Unless I'm very mistaken what art was talking about is even linked
from the www.openbsd.org front page.
This discussion begs the question: Why is it so important to find
handholding to start kernel hacking? Kernel hacking isn't for
everyone, and as far as I can tell it isn't necessarily such a
glorious existence either. The only way to find out if it /is/ for
you, is the hard way: Put in the time needed to understand how to
solve a particular problem, code your fix and submit the patch to
tech@. If you do manage to put together a halfway useful patch and
post it on tech@, you will get some measure of feedback. How you
respond to that feedback will help determine if you are cut out for
kernel hacking.
And again, why focus narrowly on the kernel? There's a whole base
system out there, and it would be deeply unfair to forget about
packages.
And of course, if your coding skills aren't all that hot, there are
several types of activities that would benefit the project which may
not even involve contributing code.
