I am mf, also known as Mindflyer, not to be confused with Martin Fuchs. 
I have gotten interested in ReactOS, and am currently replacing various 
icons. For instance, when you checkout latest SVN, the "My Computer" 
icon is one of my creations. I also hang out on IRC and on the forums. 
I've dealt with my share of open source projects in the past, so I think 
I have some authorization to say that I know what I'm doing :).

Alas, it is less technical than you think. The interface team will 
basically be controlling how things will look on the outside, which 
button goes where, what keystroke generates what reaction, etc. It's all 
a bit more on the "Human interfacing" side of development, something 
most programmers haven't eaten much cheese of (excuse the dutch 
expression). Basically, we'd be deciding how things look, act, and 
react(OS! - sigh, too lame pun). The technical side will also be 
addressed, but I think if you're looking for a list of missing GDI 
functions and such, you're better off asking someone in the dev team 
instead :).
