Sounds great! The best way to get started is to start looking at open issues in 
JIRA and tackling any that scratch your fancy.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE#selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project%3Asummary-panel

For some suggestions, you might cheat by first taking a look at the issues that 
have been labeled as good candidates for Google Summer of Code. Any of those 
might be a good way to get started.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQuery=project+%3D+12310110+AND+labels+%3D+gsoc2011

The best advice is to just start communicating on the list, following JIRA 
issues you are interested in, and contributing patches/discussion where it 
makes sense. You will quickly get a sense of which issues might make sense to 
work on. It's also a good idea to follow and participate in the user lists.

Good luck and welcome to the Lucene community!
