HOW TO
Hi guys , I am a kernel newbie but I wanted to try and write a few simple patches. Can anybody give me a little HOW TO. For eg, Certain functions need theri error code modified , so how do i go about finding that function in the kerenl source tree, and also how do i write a patch , i mean is there a technique or a format that has to be followed?

I think KernelJanitors would be a good starting point for you:

Please go through Documentation/SubmittingPatches and Documentation?CodingStyle.

How current is the KernelJanitors list? And how is it coordinated? There are some things that look interesting to me, but if someone is already working on it . . . .

Right. You should ask/check on this mailing list first, before spending time on a project.

So which out of that list would be good for a first-timer?

The (unofficial?) wiki is also very likely a good place to start:
http://fsdev.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
And from personal experience as a newbie, I would suggest reading everything you can find on KernelNewbies.org
