If you are into making games, Monogame http://www.monogame.net/ and Duality https://github.com/AdamsLair/duality (very similar to Unity but 2d and OSS) are awesome open source projects to look at.

The glowing bear would be more than happy to be helped out a bit. It's a relay client for WeeChat written in pure client-side JavaScript, for desktop and mobile. You connect directly to your WeeChat (most likely running inside a terminal multiplexer on your server). I like to think of it as IRC for the 21st century.

We're a nearly 10-year-old open-source self-hosted photo gallery project, with a better backend and design than alternatives like Gallery or coppermine. We also have CMS capabilities like Wordpress, but more geared toward and integrated with your media.

Mostly PHP and web tech. It began very simply and has been run for 8 years exclusively by community contributors. We're about to lose our lead developer, and we'd love to inject some new folks into the project and bring it up to date in terms of UX.

Reach out with an issue/pull request on github if you're interested: http://www.github.com/zenphoto - or via our web site http://www.zenphoto.org

We're building a site, http://solvers.io , where you can give your skills to projects that are trying to improve the world. We've got projects including helping charities with websites, making software to liberate knowledge, contributing to farming robots and helping develop better yielding crops. I encourage everyone here to post their projects to solvers - we've already brought some really cool teams together. You'…

Great idea - I'm looking forward to taking a look at some of these projects.

Your website also looks like it needs a re-design - if you'd like some help with it, let me know.

JStruct - http://github.com/sebinsua/jstruct The idea is "JSON as the definition language of JSON transformations." I'm not at the implementation stage yet, hence the prototype is weak (it might even be broken.) I came up with the idea and have sketched out a few ways that I can imagine it working, but need to bounce ideas off others before I continue. Take a look. Conceptually where would you want to go with this? A…

That is something I have wanted for a long time too. I came from the XML world and am very familiar with XPath. It seems like you are trying to create an XPath type parser for JSON, but also including some more complex features than XPath might include (been a while since I touched it, so I'd have to refresh my memory).

Note that in your README, the links to the github repos for json-path and json-pointer 404.

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

I agree. Especially if the intro post encouraged a little more standardization like the "who's hiring" one. Maybe request that all posts include at least the tech stack their project uses, for example.
