Recently the question came up: suppose you wanted to give enthusiastic people some guidance on how to help work on Python. What suggestions do you have? Surely there's a Web page on this!

Well, no: a few quick Google searches led me to discover that "contributing to Python" was answered neither succinctly nor well in any of the resulting pages.

So I thought, heck! Let's create a wiki page!

Check it over and add in your own ideas.
