There are several ways to help:

If you are a contributor, make sure you get a machine running with Amahi 8 and get your apps to run on it
If you want to test the install, get a VM and an ISO file of the base OS and let's test! This is probably the best way to help without deep technical knowledge.
If you want to help with the platform, get in the Amahi Mailing list and get some patches going. Ruby and RoR can help here.
Testing and porting themes will also help
