Where do I start :-)

Seeing as Base is where I want to work, this seems an obvious thing to
do. I'm guessing that building without Java, then running some tests
(smoketest? what?) and seeing what breaks is a good idea.

If someone can guide me where to go, I'll try and get started (homelife
permitting :-)
