Hi,
welcome on board :))

There are many things to be done on KOffice, and since this is about
voluntary contributions, you're the one who decides what you want to work on :)
Obviously the first step is to use anoncvs to get the most recent sources
at any time, and then you can look into bugfixing things that don't seem to
work correctly :). http://bugs.kde.org has a nice collection of bug reports in case
you run out of ideas :).
Other than that, it's KPresenter that might need a bit of work at the moment,
between the autosave config (Toshitaka said he'd look into it though), and
things like porting it to the new qrichtext object (big work, don't start with that).
There are certainly other things to be done :)
Just an idea: improving the info seen in statusbars for instance (in most apps)...
