Welcome to our community. It's great to see motivated new people coming 
around. And if you managed to get Janek to show up again we're 
additionally grateful for your appearance ;-)

I'm sure Janek will (or already has started) point you to setting up a 
working environment, as Werner has suggested. For us it would also be 
interesting to know a little bit about your programming experience and 
interests. The major languages used in the LilyPond context are C++ 
(with strong ties to the Guile platform 
(https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/learn/)) and Guile Scheme, and 
Python both for a number of helper tools and the Frescobaldi editor. 
Your knowledge of or interest in learning these languages is probably 
the most determining factor for thinking about *what* you could start 
working on.

Best wishes
Urs
