Write or edit documentation. A lot of open source projects need help in that department.

That technically does satisfy the goal of "contributing", but it's also a boring, menial job. (Which is why volunteer-driven projects have poor documentation in the first place.)

I don't know of any open-source developer who got started writing docs.
