that mainly depends on what you specifically mean by development. OpenStreetMap
first of all is a database and there are many pieces of software involved when
it comes to entering data or extracting data and generating useful
representations of them.

A good overview over possible development tasks in the OpenStreetMap universe is
the wiki <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Develop>
No matter what your specific expertise is, you will find something there.

Apart from that there are still numerous areas with little datacoverage and the
documentation could still be expanded but from what you write I guess that you
are primarily interested in software development.

Hope that helps
