If I new anything about programming, I would.
I'll check out the "Bug Triage"

Hi :)
You don't need to know about programming just to report a bug.  It's just like 
emailing really, or a forum post.  Keep the subject line extremely short and 
just use keywords such as "Lotus Wordpro files,  regression in 3.4.x".  Then a 
bit more description in the main part.  Try to keep it fairly brief but 
informative.  

http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport

It can take a long while to fix a bug and there are a lot of reports to work 
through so don't expect instant results!  You probably can do some Entry Level 
tasks to help the devs but it might not make your bug-report get seen much 
faster as there is so much to do.

Most of us pick some other area to work in such as Documentation or something 
but if you can develop skills or help the devs then that helps the project 
hugely.

Tom :)
