 My programming skills are somewhat crippled, but I know about the
principles, I know how to read source code and change minor things.
You need to know Linux and tools like sed, diff, patch and friends.  I
started as an arch tester for x86 and learned a lot about how Gentoo
works that way, then began contributing to Project Sunrise which
improved my ebuild skills (at least brought it to a decent level).
Reading devmanual added some more knowledge and also the quizzes are
helpful.
