Look at it this way: Fedora, like most FOSS projects, is widely
underpowered.
It would be silly of us to deny to anybody the possibility to contribute.
I really would like to contribute in some
way or another but my computer skill are limited to just simple tasks.
There are many areas of contributions which require very few (or none)
computer skills.
Things like design, marketing or translation come to mind.
But what really matters is what you **want** to do for Fedora. What you
will **have fun** doing.
Once you figure that out, it won't be a problem for you to learn those
skills you need, simply because you will have fun doing it.
So really, think hard about what you enjoy doing first.
If you have the skills to do it already, then jump in: contact the
relevant team and start working with them.
And if you don't have these skills yet, start learning, and ask
questions. We'll try our best to help. :)
