Hi Omar,
You might want to narrow your scope to one part of GHC. For example, I
mostly focused on the Run Time System to be able to conduct my master's
thesis. Also, you might want to start off with a tiny goal, like to fix
bug XYZ.
Oh, and most important of all is the Commentary, which I think of as a
wiki for GHC developers. http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary
Cheers,
Arash
