hey jih on JIRA there are also starter projects for users new to wave to contribute too, view these here https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WAVE-349?jql=labels%20%3D%20StarterProject . There is also documentation on the website to help you get set up with installing the tools and on our confluence wiki ( https://incubator.apache.org/wave/documentation.html , https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WAVE/Home ). Also to add some advice from another member Yuri that responded to a similar email this week:
"I think you can contribute even with little coding experience - but this depends on what you want to do and the amount of time you can allocate for contributing to Wave. So, I think you can take a look at the list of issues at jira and see if there's anything you might want to contribute to. Also, if you have some specific interests - like working with server/client/GWT/Solr - go ahead and let us know." there is also a irc chat #wiab on freenode where some members afk on. Looking forward to your contribution to the project.
