http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs will tell you how to get the
CVS code where you can find the etc/NEWS file, the manuals,
the source elisp code, ...
You'll immediately see that the NEWS file is right now just a long list
of things with no structure and is thus inconvenient for new users
who can't easily skip things they're not interested in.
You can also read, re-read, re-re-read the manual and send us patches
for typos, or point out places where the doc is difficult to understand,
or incomplete, or out-of-date, or plain wrong.
Same thing for the docstrings, of course. Passing the various elisp
packages through ispell is also a good idea. Passing them through
checkdoc-current-buffer is also a good idea (although it requires more
skill and judgment to decide whether a warning should be fixed or not).
You can do the proofread the elisp manual, which will also help
you to get acquainted with the actual code, so you can start sending
us patches to the code.
