It depends all on your interests. If you find a bug, fine,
try to fix it. If you have a kewl new idea for PHP, fine, try
to implement it (somtimes it's a good idea _first_ to check
if it's really appropriate).
You've two good sources for learning the API: the
documentation at php.net (which unfortunately is a bit
outdated; but even documenting it and updating to the current
status of Zend would be a very good contribution) and all the
zillions modules in php4/ext, starting from very easy ones to
complex ones, using only simple functions to using objects.
Whatever your question is, first try to solve it yourself,
second just ask on this list (the first choice gives more
often 'Ah-Haaaa!' effects ;-) .
