If you have access to the OS book, it's a great place to start
getting familiar with the 3.1.0 version of the architecture:

After that is the Minix 3 wiki, which has a developers guide which covers a variety of topics:

It's often recommended to start out with simpler stuff (like porting NetBSD applications for example)
in order to become familiar with the code.
The OS Dev Wiki is another great resource for Operating System design:

The google group as well as the #minix and #minix-dev channels on Libera are great resources to ask
for specific questions that actual minix developers may be able answer:
