Look at the discussions in our forum about new features. Find an interesting topic, discuss it and start contributing. Alternatively, you can check out JabRefs projects page at GitHub. Although, of course, you can choose to work on ANY issue, choosing from the projects page has the advantage that these issues have already been categorized, sorted and screened by JabRef maintainers. A typical sub-classifications scheme is "priority" (high, normal and low). Fixing high priority issues is preferred.
I am a lecturer If you ask yourself how to integrate JabRef into your class, please read the documentation about how to integrate JabRef into a class of software engineering training. As student, you may notify your lecturer about this possibility.
