Some of the development process may be made public, perhaps all of it. We'll have to first wait and see what development process is decided on.

Not all the challenges will be C++ coding issues, a lot will have to do with software design issues which are program language independant. Usefull input can therefore come from people do not have any C++ knowlege, but I expect you will have to have a deep understanding of programming concepts in general.

As for being an "apprentice" you'd have to find people willing to do such a thing. Many of us are already bogged down at work during the day, and there's never enough hours at night to work on all the fun projects we'd like to be working on - some of us are going to bed at 2:00 am ... for some reason PMB comes to mind
