If you like tweaking builds and figuring out broken CI jobs you might
want to take a look at

  https://builds.apache.org/view/S-Z/view/Sling-Dashboard/

I think in particular the cache extension would need some attention.
Other than that, I would start at the open issue list [1] and drill
down based on the area that interests me, whether this is:

- Maven plug-ins and tooling
- Launchpad ( the general sling launchpad setup )
- Testing ( tools and actual tests )
- IDE ( Eclipse tooling )
- Scripting/JCR/Extensions/etc for actual Sling bundles

Hope this clears up the contribution 'story' a bit. Feel free to ask if
it does not :-)
