Well after re-reading the Jr Devs sticky in the other forum, I'll answer my own question...
It looks like you should post code snippets to the forums and essentially apply for a JrDev position. I suppose the Jr. Devs code is taken pretty seriously and is more likely to be merged into the CVS.
Quote:
Make sure to put all your code snippets on the new forum as well as reading the sticky there.
Devs will merge your code for you and help you out (doesn't mean they will teach you to program).

I disagree with your assertion that the Jr Dev program is "lame". It's a quality control check to make sure that peeps who will be submitting code changes basically know what the heck they're doing. If, as you assume, people are applying for Jr Dev just for status, then they're doing it for the wrong reasons. If you (and I mean "you" as in the general audience, not Cooter or KhaN) are one of those people applying for that reason, please do the project a favor and don't apply. I couldn't care less about a title, all 5 of my butts glowing at once, or a % on IRC, but I'll gladly apply for Jr. Dev if that means that my contributions stand a chance of being put out there for the public to benefit from. Cooter, you might wanna consider doing the same as well.
