Welcome! Shishir is correct about the website and developer docs -- they
should be up to date and helpful -- if you're confused by something
we've probably not explained it well enough! Shout on the mailing list
and we'll try to improve things.

The only thing you really need to contribute to PackageKit is
enthusiasm. We welcome new developers with open arms. :-)

Did you have any ideas for your major project yet? PackageKit is a
framework, and there's lots of other stuff being built on it all the
time.
