[development] Is there a how-to contribute to core for the impatient?

[matt at mattfarina.com]

If you head to the handbook[1] or go to the patch spotlight page[2]  
there are links to what you are asking for. Here's a quick rundown.

> - build up a testing environment
http://drupal.org/node/28245

> - checkout HEAD d6
http://drupal.org/node/320

> - apply proposed patches in issues
http://drupal.org/node/60108
http://drupal.org/node/132745 (a video)

> - write/correct patches
http://drupal.org/patch
http://drupal.org/patch/create

> - coding standards
http://drupal.org/node/318

Welcome and happy testing.

Matt
