Here's the most popular.  Pick one of the top ten pages: http:// 
drupal.org/handbook/most-popular-pages

i would start by filing an issue and keep responding to the issue.   
You can say site-maintainers please apply my changes.  If you start  
to make some significant contributions you'll find yourself being  
promoted pretty quickly.

Be sure to look and see if anyone has already written pages on the  
topics you are writing.  Contact the author and tell them you want to  
work with them.

Start by working on the stuff people are reading the most: http:// 
drupal.org/handbook/most-popular-pages

Here is a list of handbook pages with comments: http://drupal.org/ 
handbook/comments.   The approach I would take would be to make a  
copy of the existing page and edit it based on the comments.  If the  
comments are extensive and valuable then I would consider creating a  
child page that contain those comments.  Once you feel that you have  
reviewed all the comments and got all the value let us know by  
posting an issue and we will come and edit.  If you start making  
contributions you'll get promoted to a site maintainer pretty  
quickly.  That will allow you to edit and delete comments.

Cheers,
Kieran
