If you would like to see the data that's currently in Open library, there are dumps published every month or so. Where the data comes from is either partners or one off projects to scrape from public sources or sometimes just people adding what they like.
Fulltext search of actual books! And also metadata.
If you're serious about getting involved I'd say the best thing to do it just come to the meeting if you can. The GitHub has a lot of things that without context can be hard to pickup. Most of the easy stuff is on the JS side.
