Suggested starting point: get the code, have it run on your machine,
and have it pass tests. Report back here (or even better submit code
patch) any issues with docs.

Places to look: Developer Resources on http://wiki.ckan.net/Main_Page,
http://docs.ckan.org/

Public bug tracker: http://trac.ckan.org/

If you were looking for a ticket suggest starting with:
<http://trac.ckan.org/ticket/1343> (and perhaps think of things to add
to it by looking at http://thedatahub.org/)

Great to hear :-)
