We're actually looking for both technical and non technical contributors, on a wide range of topics. We have a Wiki (http://en.wiki.openfoodfacts.org) Slack (http://openfoodfacts.slack.com) and the source code is available on GitHub.

Is the data available via a RESTful JSON API? If not is that something that would be possible, more than willing to help.

The data would be very useful to mobile apps and mashups if presented in an API.
