Open source projects who need help?!


I've got some free time now, and I would like to focus in one-or-more projects which I would be able to help in.
Is there any place you know of which holds a list of project which needs programmer's help? or do you know of the kind of project?

Thanks,and I hope I will be able to help a project or more..

SourceForge and Freshmeat are always good places to start. You could also look at your favourite programs and offer up bug fixes. You could also look into translations or documentation.

I can't speak for the community, but this just happens to be very high on my "wish list": Sign up with the XFCE project and develop a login manager that provides the same kind of "switch user" functionality that is provided in KDE/KDM. If you bite on this, I can provide some ideas for how to be even better than KDM.

Rationale: I am sure I am not unique in managing a system used by several "anti-geeks". KDE has been the default, but I really prefer XFCE---The ONLY issue at the moment is that all XFCE setups use GDM --in which the GUI user-switching is clumsy and is inferior to KDM. Further, I have found no login manager that is as user-friendly as should be possible.

http://sourceforge.net/people/ - click "Get Involved" on the main page and then "Join a Project" and you will arrive at the link at the front of this sentence.
