I think the main problem is that it's a very broad question. The answer to "how should I get started" would be completely different for if you wanted to implement a type system extension, port GHC to a new platform, or fix a bug in ghci All three task have one thing in common though - the GHC build system. Project sources are over 500MB, there are many subrepositories, build scripts etc - this is really intimidating at first and I guess that seeing all that was a bit discouraging. Now that I know the compiler itself is about 9MB it doesn't look that bad :) Wiki indeed seems to have all the information required. It's just that it would be good to give beginners a _precise_ list of things they should read to begin hacking.
