Well, with the new rewrite, it should make things a lot easier. But from what I hear, the code is still pretty hard to get your head around. You'de need to study the code for a while to get the hang of it.

Even my own code I wrote 6 months ago looks foreign now because my coding style has changed. I had to get used to the old style again :P

>I also remember a page of "junior jobs".

There is always little things that can be done, sure. But the main bulk needs someone experienced.

>Bugfixes can be easy.

Well, if code is made better, there shouldn't need to be bug fixes ;) There should be new code to solve problems instead of patches. Which again, needs someone a bit more experienced (I'm talking about people that maybe knew how to make a calculator in c or c++. Nothing much more.

>Bradley wrote the EchoAI-framework.  Maybe this is easy enough for beginners who want to write an AI.

So whats stopping you from making one? For me, lack of documentation. There simply isn't enough of it. Sure, there may be pages like http://globulation2.org/wiki/Making_An_AI_With_Echo_(part_1) and http://globulation2.org/wiki/Making_An_AI_With_Echo_(part_2) but they might be out of date and still require a fairly good knowledge of C++ to make something that actually works.
