Actually, I was thinking about joining the XFce development team, but I 
do not know if I possess the required amount of knowledge. I've finished 
a couple of programming courses at the university, C and C++. Apart from 
that, I'm pretty clueless. Is there any way for me to join the team? 
What do I need to know more in order to have the required amount of 
knowledge, and how can I achieve it?

Thanks in advace,
Shahar.
