Hi, welcome!


Here are a few links you might want to read:
http://wiki.octave.org/FAQ#How_can_I_get_involved_in_Octave_development.3F
http://wiki.octave.org/Contributing_to_the_development_of_packages/modules

What we usually suggest as a starting point is to look at bug reports and see 
if there is something you think you would be able to fix:
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=octave

HTH,
