Depends what you're interests are. Documentation is usually poor to non-existent in most open source projects (at least initially). I would argue that good user documentation at an early stage can mean the difference between a successful project and a ho-hum project. I wrote the first Asterisk Management Portal Installation Guide (AMP was a precursor to FreePBX) and I can tell you that that guide made a huge difference. If you like to code, submit patches. Your patches will be scrutinized but that will make you a better programmer. Eventually you might get contributor status if your patches/code is solid. If you like to help people there are always novices that will ask the questions that people who have been in the project for awhile will ignore because they've heard them a million times (because there's no good documentation).
