In general you should get familiar with MDAnalysis (what does it do, who is using it, why does it exist...), and it's also a good idea to install the MDAnalysis library and try it out by following the Quickstart Guide. If you want to contribute through code, then we have a Contribution Guide. You can also contribute in other ways (which we also highly appreciate), e.g., by helping with documentation, improving user experience across GitHub, https://www.mdanalysis.org/, and Discord, etc ...

The #outreachy channel in the MDAnalysis discord (see Participating for the invite link to discord) has been quite lively and many people interested in outreachy have had discussions there so I'd encourage you to look there.
