I'd like to add 1 1/2: Writing documentation. More, better, and clearer documentation is always welcome and takes little special skill to make. If you find that the documentation is not clear about a topic or you just figured out something that is not documented at all, please write up something and contribute it. Submissions are not required to be in DocBook format -- plain text is enough. The mailing list for documentation work is pgsql-docs@postgresql.org.
