First, building, testing and reporting bug is highly appreciated. Please include console's output and reproduction step in your bug report.
Right now we are doing a lot of refactoring to clean the codebase so if you work on a new feature based on 0.2.x, it probably won't merge into 0.3.0. This is why we recommend you to hold all pull request other than bug fixes until we release 0.3.0 and stabilize the new codebase. From that point, we plan to add a lot of new features asked by the community and merge pull request.
If you want to develop, you can look at the issues, especialy the bugs and fix them. Refactoring tasks are listed here. However it is recommended you come talk with the devs in IRC before you start working on something specific since we already have an idea of how we are going to get most thing done. Here's a list of feature requested by the community so far.
Please follow the contributions guidelines.

on freenode (web access), most active developers hang in there.
Search for libudev.so.0 on your distribution. Most of the time it can be easily fixed by creating a symbolic link from libudev.so to libudev.so.0
