We've actually build a site you can use to post your projects to attract contributors who can pick up a task for you, join your team, spread word, provide feedback, become beta users or advisors, etc. It works like a GitHub for non-hackers minus the code (since you can use github for the code). The site is used mostly by top universities, hackathons, and some YC and HN members. Here is the link if you think that could be useful to you or others: http://www.doerhub.com
We love community contributors at Mozilla! I personally work on Marketplace [1], the app store for open web apps [2]. Our properties run client-side apps (HTML/CSS/JavaScript) with a Python/Django API server. Many other options are available depending on your skills and interests: - If you know C++, for instance, you can contribute to the core layers of Firefox, Firefox OS, and other Mozilla products. - If you know J…
Come drop in IRC and say hi :)
IHaskell is aiming to be (in a sense) a replacement for GHCi for interactive Haskell development. It uses the IPython framework (no Python code in main codebase, of course) in order to provide an interactive notebook interface. It allows multiline expressions, graphical output for things like JSON, charts, images, etc, and is very extensible. It's more or less stable but there's still a ton to do if anyone is interested - feel free to get in touch!
A blog engine for those of us that want to write post in HTML. Live preview, per-page CSS/JS, image and partial importer. Check it out!

I've started this and done a reasonably good job, but it would benefit from more content.
I started this project a few years ago because I was frustrated with existing JavaScript documentation being too complicated and I wanted a simple way to test out APIs without spinning up a new browser tab/text editor. I finished the basic JavaScript APIs (Array/String/Object/etc) and started adding docs for some more advanced types as I used them myself. Now there are a lot of APIs without descriptions or examples. I would love assistance with filling in missing documentation/examples and possibly translating this site to other languages. If I can get a few people's interest in contributing (here or at http://www.javascripture.com/contribute) I will put the project up on github.
This would be a great addition to the monthly "Who's Hiring" and "Freelancers" posts that go up. Not sure who runs the whoishiring account but maybe they could consider this. https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=whoishiring
PureScript is a small strongly, statically typed programming language with expressive types, written in and inspired by Haskell, and compiling to Javascript.
If you're looking for a Haskell project to hack on, or a hands-on way to learn Haskell, we have lots of things to work on. Knowledge of compiler design is not necessary for a lot of the remaining tasks. The goal of the next big milestone will be to write some necessary libraries and to port the compiler to PureScript itself.
Libraries for client-side and server-side web development are also a focus.
The FreeNode #purescript IRC channel is a good place to chat about the implementation.
