Before spending a large amount of time on a contribution for the Stacks project, choose a smaller task, say something you can do in 5 minutes up to an hour. Leave a comment on the website or email the result (usually the modified TeX file) to stacks.project@gmail.com and see what it feels like to donate some of your own work to a publicly maintained project. Having done this successfully you can try your hand at some more ambitious projects.
While making changes or additions, please try to roughly approximate the way things are done in the Stacks project, especially near where you think your material is going to be put. Look a bit at the level of detail given in proofs and take note of the coding style used. This is not the most important thing (the most important thing is the mathematics and its correctness), but it can help incorporating your changes quickly.
For many of these tasks the commenting system available on the website suffices. Just look up the tag and post a comment, we will deal with the actual change in the Stacks project.
Again, many of these can be done using the commenting system, but some will require you to at least email the TeX you wrote.
Here you should probably email your TeX file or make a pull request.
