Hi Raphael, Welcome and thanks for taking an interest in helping out! Shawn's pointers above are all good for getting started. If there's any other information you need, let us know.
You know best what you want to get involved with. But if you're interested in QA and are interested in the Solr side of things, you might be interested in a test-failure aggregator that Hoss, a member of the community here, has set up: http://fucit.org/solr-jenkins-reports/failure-report.html. Some tests fail regularly but others have low failure rates and are challenging to reproduce. We always need help with tests and appreciate help tracking down issues. Looking forward to working with you as you get ramped up.
