Well, Dolphin is technically a hobbyist project; no one gets paid for their work, so it isn't professional in that sense. No one is paid to work on Dolphin (not officially anyway) as it's all volunteer work. Anyway, there are no baseline requirements. If you know how to improve Dolphin and can do so, then that's all you need. That can be coding, translation, general maintenance of the website or wiki, or bug testing.

If you're interested in coding and adding features or fixes to Dolphin, some good to know stuff:

* How to program. C++ is what Dolphin uses for the most part (Android version is Java?) Being able to read code is helpful as well.

* How to use git and GitHub.

* Basic info about the GC/Wii hardware. If you have an area of interest (say controllers) you don't necessarily need to know everything about the consoles, just the parts related to what you want to mess around with. Dolphin's source code documents most of this already, and knowing GC/Wii homebrew also helps.
