I can only extend the idea: Start a documentation project: Write HowTos, 
keep the man-pages up2date, write new man-pages (this might require some 
basic code skills) ...

Use DragonFly consciously! Play around with as many things as you can. If 
something seems strange or is not working as excepted, investigate! That 
will benefit both, you - as it builds your *BSD knowledge - and DragonFly 
- as we can only fix issues we are aware of ... learn how to write a good 
PR and keep an eye on the problems already discussed in order to make 
valueable reports.
