Knowing _some_ Emacs Lisp will probably be useful.  Why don't you try
and learn that first (there is a nice introduction here:
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eintr/)?

If you need any help, you can always try sending a message to
help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org.

When you have some experience you can start tackling bugs you find or
things that can be improved.

You can also try "C-h i m Emacs Lisp Intro RET" or evaluate
(info "(eintr) Top") to open the book in Emacs, even when you're
offline.  I hope you'll love Emacs Lisp.

Emacs doesn't use Scheme as its extension language, so you don't need to
learn Scheme.  But Scheme is a great language, so if you want to learn
it there are many resources available online.  You might be also
interested in GNU Guile, GNU's own Scheme interpreter and a extension
language to many programs (your programs can also be on the list).

Thanks.  Scheme is likely not useful, but Emacs Lisp is bound to be when
working on Emacs.

Ideally you should also learn C.
https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/c-intro-and-ref/ seems to have become
quite a good resource for that.  Our style of C is somewhat unusual for
most outsiders; you might want to familarize yourself with some files
(frame.c seems to be a good starting point) first.
