Welcome!

I'd start by reading appendix J of the documentation.
Set up a build environment for the documentation.

Even if you don't want to write source code, much of the information in
this article will still apply:
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/So,_you_want_to_be_a_developer%3F

Get familiar with the commitfest app: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/
Patches that you want to be reviewed and committed should go there.
The best starting point might be to review some documentation patches
from the next commitfest.

I am not aware of a TODO list for the documentation, so if you don't
have your own ideas about improving the documentation, you can hang out
on the -docs mailing list and read the questions and complaints that
others have.

Yours,
