Excellent! Welcome aboard :)

I'm not sure it qualifies as *quick*start documentation,
but the best we have is:

https://tails.boum.org/contribute/

... and then, you'll find the most relevant entry point for the kind
of skills you have / want to learn :)

I have never heard of anyone trying our Vagrant setup and
configuration works on OSX. It would be interesting to know if
it works.

Still, if what you're interested in is code / development, we have
quite some tasks that can be worked on without building a Tails ISO.
I suspect these will be more suitable to get you started:

https://labs.riseup.net/code/projects/tails/issues?utf8=✓&set_filter=1&f[]=cf_17&op[cf_17]==&v[cf_17][]=1&f[]=status_id&op[status_id]=o&f[]=assigned_to_id&op[assigned_to_id]=!*&f[]=cf_15&op[cf_15]==&v[cf_15][]=Code&f[]=cf_9&op[cf_9]=!&v[cf_9][]=Pass&f[]=&c[]=status&c[]=priority&c[]=fixed_version&c[]=subject&c[]=category&c[]=cf_15&c[]=assigned_to&c[]=cf_9&group_by=

(How to reproduce: go to our Redmine, click the "Easy" link in the
sidebar, add "Type of work == Code" and "QA Check != Pass"
filters, apply.)

Also, something that has worked very well in the past is to tell us
a bit more about your skills and areas of interest, and then we'll be
happy to propose you a list of tasks that match it.

Cheers,
