Very little of gnucash is in scheme.  At this point, mostly only the
reports.  Besides, if you have programming experience, you can pick up
enough scheme to be able to grok gnucash's use of it pretty easily.

As for getting yourself into development:

- build it from sources <http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building>

- fix a bug that's vexing you, or an existing bug
<http://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=GnuCash>

  There are a couple of gnome-love <http://live.gnome.org/GnomeLove>
bugs there that are explicitly for beginners to the source,
unfortunately they both look to be scheme/report bugs...

- expand from there.
