It sounds like the accessibility team could really use you, both from
a testing and a coding standpoint (assuming, of course, that you
learned C); further, you are probably more motivated to work on such
projects than most people are and accessibility work always has need
for more assistance.  See http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gap/ for
more information.  I'm sure Bill would love any help you could
provide.

I have done the same.  You can see my write-up at
http://www.gnome.org/~newren/tutorials/developing-with-gnome/html/ch04.html
.  I'd be interested in seeing whatever you write up about it.
