For example: If I want to apply for Update the SQL interfaces idea what can I do for now? 

Should I start to implement the missing classes/methods? Should I try to resolve a bug or  

build the sources and concentrate on the application.

Also I don't understand if I have to do this from scratch or there is a model to follow. 

What about "Add more sound support" idea. Who are the providers mentioned?
