Your enthusiasm and curiosity are laudable. However, one of the first
rules of programming is that you don't re-invent the wheel. There are
already a *lot* of emacs modes and so you could be writing one which
already exists. On the other hand, I'm guessing that there are a lot
of open source projects on <http://savannah.gnu.org/> and
<http://sourceforge.net/> which are cutting edge and need help. You
could follow on on the develop of some interesting project and, if your
coding skills are good enough, perhaps even contribute.
