There's an excellent book called "Code Reading" that could help you make
sense of it.
My advice is to figure out first how to:
(a) build using ant, outside of Eclipse or any IDE
(b) run the tests using ant, outside of Eclipse or any IDE
(c) start a server with custom configuration, outside of Eclipse or any IDE
Then, you need to start dividing the code into different components in your
mind - Solr, Lucene, Indexing, Query Process, Structures on Disk,
Structures in memory (cache), etc.
I wish I had time to follow my own advice - I know what to do, but have a
couple of full-time commitments (work & family)

Welcome! Thanks for wanting to contribute. Usually people contribute out
of necessity to improve or fix something for a real project. That helps
focus one's self on something and establish a goal. Since that isn't the
case for you, I suggest looking through our JIRA issues tagged "newdev":
https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20in%20(SOLR%2C%20LUCENE)%20AND%20text%20~%20newdev
Or perhaps search for "gsoc" (which stands for Google Summer of Code).
