You can spend some good time also reading Wayland the page and understanding the ideas behind it: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wayland.freedesktop.org/">http://wayland.freedesktop.org/</a> Later on, you can hang a bit on the mailing list, try to understand the patches coming, help with the review, apply them and eventually contribute with new ones. I guess the open-source way of collaboration probably will be the big difference for you coming from Windows platform. Have fun!
