To answer this question I think one need to know what are your areas of
interest and in what areas have you worked before.

There's a lot to do in samba4, not only we rewrote lot of the foundation
code and changed the samba internal architecture, but we also broadened
our field of action as a consequence of our goal to provide a competible
AD replacement.

I would advice you to read carefully the prog_guide.txt and
talloc_guide.txt files at the root of the tree and our other developer
docs. And if you like the mean, come to irc on
freenode.net#samba-techincal where you can talk directly with other
developers.

Simo.
