Our default recommendation to newcomers has been to try to fix a bug from
Something that we are thinking of start recommending is to go through
the code review queue, select a changeset and help reviewing with your
comments and your vote.
See

Reviewing changes contributed by other developers is also a chance to
learn about the projects developed here. It also requires you to setup
your environment, get developer access and other steps that developers
willing to contribute code need to go through.
What do you think? Hopefully the documentation will be good enough to
guide you through. Otherwise just ask.
