Typically the first step in playing a D&D game is deciding what level to start at and generating a character.
Deciding on how to start the storyline, is often helped by knowing what kind of characters are going to be in it.
So, if anyone needs help doing this, I'd suggest first joining [url=http://www.myth-weavers.com/forumhome.php]Myth Weavers[/url] to make use of the online character sheets they feature.

Once folks have done so, they can start reading bits and pieces of what can be found on the [url=http://www.d20srd.org/]3.5 d20 SRD[/url].

On this thread or using PMs, I can answer questions as you go and provide more links.
If enough prove interested, I can DM a starter story arc or two to keep your beaks wet.
I'm reluctant to commit to the task of providing for a full-fledged campaign at this time, but circumstances can always change.
