[orca-list] getting the knowledge to find bugs, and fix them in orca?

[Justin Mann <w9fyi me com>]

Hi all,
I'm curious, as a relatively technical computer user, but having little experience with coding etc, how 
doesone go about getting the necessary materials to learn the various languages orca was written?  I'm 
getting involved because I want to see something better than the "windows" alternative to adaptive 
technology.  Does the knowledge come from experience?  
Thanks,
Justin
