Depends on what you want to work on. Some options are graphics, maps, client, server, map editor, documentation or in game objects (aka archetypes)

And what programming languages is the game made with?

C, Perl and Python

2. The forums appear dead, is the game as dead as the forums?

The web forum is a tertiary form of project communication; primary one is the mailing list, followed by the IRC channel.
