How should I approach open source software development?

More specifically, should I start from scratch on an idea? or contribute to a similar existing project?

How should I approach open source software development?
I suggest you to start with an existing open source project. you can find very good open source projects at www.sourceforge.net if you find a project you are interested, just send email to the project admin they can add you in. Of course, if you have a very good idea, you can create your own sourceforge project, and share it with the rest of the world.
Reply:I am a developer. I have never contributed to an open source project but I would recommmend going that way. Starting from scratch would take alot of time.
