Hello Malin, welcome to the Fedora Project! We're glad to have you here 
with us. :)

In regards to having enough knowledge in order to contribute, I'd take a 
bet you probably have enough to get started already. :) It's easy to 
look at number of the "big" things happening in Fedora and think they're 
too hard and out of reach, but there's so many smaller AND important 
things that all lead up to those bigger things too. As a student myself, 
I realized this only after I began contributing. I figured out that I 
wasn't giving myself enough credit for the ways I could help or 
contribute with the skills I already had.

What languages are you familiar with already, or is there any kind of 
specific area you'd be thinking of contributing towards?

In either case, one great website you will probably want to check out 
and play around with is "What can I do for Fedora?"

http://whatcanidoforfedora.org/

This site has a quick and easy way for you to see all of the different 
places you can contribute to in Fedora and try to find something that 
fits well for you. You can learn more about any of the different teams, 
sub-projects, or SIGs at the endpoint on the site.

Of course, we're always here to help answer any questions you might have 
if you get stuck or are confused on something. Hope you find all of this 
useful. And welcome to Fedora!
