Attempt to explain in a nutshell: There are lots of projects "hosted" in so called "repositories" that hold various versions of source code. You use a "version control system" to check the code out (download) and then after making modifications, you push it back into the repository (check-in). Contributions can be anything. Some are: * Bug reports / fixes (You'll need to look into "bug tracker" for the project ! * Patches * Documentation (of the final product as well as the internals like any APIs, etc.) and translations Search for terms you don't understand.
