The first step to get involved is to subscribe tot his list. And then 
when you feel ready to contribute some work a good place to look for 
open jobs is our requests queue:

Or maybe the Echo icon theme: https://fedorahosted.org/echo-icon-theme/

The best place to ask questions about usage is the users list, but since 
you question is simple here we go:
- SHA1SUM is a text file displaying a control sum which allows you to 
verify the integrity of your downloaded files;
- netinst is a special king of CD, you can use it on two purpose: for 
recovery boot when your Fedora system won't boot by itself and for 
performing a net install - boot from it and the installer will download 
all the needed packages, without a need for the other CDs.

The art list is *really* not the place for such king of inquiry, have a 
look at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f9/en_US/
And particularly the part about partitioning 
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f9/en_US/ch-disk-partitioning.html

Of course the default option proposed by the installer will work, but if 
you want more info that guide should be useful.
