Hi and welcome !

The KDE quality team faq is a really good start to read. There you get 
information about how to build kde from cvs, programming, contributing ...

In bugzilla you can find several "junior jobs" to start with. For some of 
these jobs you needn't to know much C++.

http://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=JJ%3A&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED

or go to http://bugs.kde.org/ and klick on "Junior Jobs".

Have fun !
... Jörn
