Thanks for the tip, I honestly didn't know that site existed.

If I had any moderator points, you'd get them. I think this comment is more insightful than it appears at first glance. While I applaud the articles root authors desire to help an open source project, it is a slightly different way of approaching the problem. Maybe the best way the root author can help open source projects is to "meta-help" them- make it easier for open source projects that need help in areas that are beyond their skill sets to connect with people willing to provide that help. For example, in my open source project, I've got the programming, HTML, and documentation needs pretty much covered. However, I do need help with the following:

o Art. I can't draw stick figures. But I do need a few pieces of art such as an "Icon" in various forms and resolutions. Possibly a few "icons", such as a "represents the whole project", and an icon for different sub-projects (i.e., something like Mozilla -> Firebird, Thunderbird).

o Translation. It would be nice to do some internationalization. There's actually a few levels to this, as well. There's some relatively simple tasks, such as localizing approximately two dozen run time error messages, all the way up to a major undertaking like localization of the documentation.

There's obviously a few more high level categories that apply to most projects as well (porting, testing on platforms not readily available to the developers, etc). So, maybe some kind of "open source job site" where project owners can post "jobs" and include details like the type of license that is required for any contributions.
