Welcome! We have much to do here, and I'm sure you can find many things that suit your interests and skills. You could join the group updating the user guides to the latest version of LO, but there are plenty of other possibilities.
One suggestion of a place to start: we've long wanted to have some how-tos and tutorials, especially giving specific examples of using LO to do common real-world tasks that people in business, publishing, academia, science and other fields need to do. These how-tos, tutorials and examples would supplement the existing user guides, showing people not just how to use the software but why, what for, and in what circumstances. We have almost nothing along these lines, so you can probably pick any topic that interests you and run with it. Or if you prefer, I'm happy to make some specific suggestions. One place to start finding out what we're doing (and how) is https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development It's not fully up to date, unfortunately, but I'm working on it. Regards, Jean P.S. I'll set up an account for you on the ODFAuthors website.
