Rodrigo,
First and foremost welcome aboard. It is great to have someone of your
calibre join our community. Contributing guidelines is the way to go.
AFAIK, we do not have a system to mark jiras for beginners. But one idea to
get your feet wet is to develop example applications in Malhar
https://github.com/apache/incubator-apex-malhar

You can check the demos directory. If there is a use case that you want to
code on, get going. A lot of documentation is available on
http://apex.incubator.apache.org/docs.html

Feel free to post questions on dev@ or user@ as and when you need help. As
your comfort level goes up, feel free to take up more jiras.

Thks,
Amol
