Hi Lilith! Welcome! Those are both great starting places. If you're looking for more of an existing structure, QA might be easier to plug into, because there's a very active core group and well-organized activities like Test Days (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days), as well as informal things like going through updates in testing (https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?search=&status=testing), trying them out, and adding feedback. The docs project could also use plently of help, and there are some areas like Quick Docs (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/) which are pretty easy to get into. The docs team is undergoing a reboot right now, which might be _good_ — if you'd like to help get that restarted, new energy is definitely welcome. But that means it's less ready with "helping new members get onboarded" than QA is. You might also be interested in Fedora Magazine, which is separate from the docs and more of a user-facing blog, with more informal and of-the-moment guides than the Quick Docs, plus human interest kind of stories and other things like that.
