How to start contributing + Unable to contact via IRC

Hi, I'm new to open source and I'm interested in contributing here. How can I get started?
Also, I tried the IRC channel but it kept saying "cannot send to nick/channel" so I need help with that too.
Thanks...

Did this ever get solved? I read the link InTheWings posted, and couldn't find any specific instructions relating to connecting to the IRC.

So I think I fixed this myself, it seems to be that you can't message the IRC without registering your nickname.
I followed the instructions in the following link and can now message the IRC:
https://freenode.net/kb/answer/registration
Hopefully new people find this helpful.
UPDATE:
Do NOT use freenode anymore!
The new IRC server is: irc.libera.chat
The new web interface is: https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/#ircs:// ... /#videolan
