The archives are here: https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/opensim-dev/

I suggest you have a look around the file 
OpenSim/Region/ScriptEngine/Common/LSL_BuiltIn_Commands.cs and see how
the existing functions are implemented. In order to implement what you
need, it may take some studying of other parts of the code base too.

I'm not sure large architectural changes are required, though there may
be some functionality not in place yet (ie: I'm not sure if groups are
implemented). Once you start submitting patches they'll be reviewed
and you'll get some feedback, so don't worry too much about getting
everything tip-top on the first go.

I don't think C# is much different from C (syntax wise) so
understanding the code and writing new code shouldn't be too tough. It
helps if you have an understanding of object oriented concepts.

For everything else there's Google :)

Hope that helps,
Mike
