HI Welcome,

Obviously you have read the developers page on the website :)

Just a few extra observations.

1. Read the HACKING file

2. choose something you are interested in to work on, from bugs, features
or your own desires.

3. read the HACKING file

4. let this list know what you are working on so things don't get done
twice and you can get advice (for instance that what appears a simple bug
is in fact massively complex and better avoided for now)

5. DO IT and send a pull request on github, one thing per PR please, don't
mix several fixes, it makes them hard to check and test and if one is a
problem/rejected the whole pr will be delayed.

Cheers
Lex
