There's a lot of crappy, poorly written open-source code out there, so I'd appreciate some pointers on where to look :) Whatever you pick, take a look in the forums before you dive in as they will quickly tell you what the lead developers will be like to work with. Some are pretty self-centred and hold "their" projects close to themselves. You should be able to spot that by how they address others in the forums. While it's a very nice editor, I couldn't imagine working with the Notepad++ guys on anything (freely or paid - although one of the plug-in authors is pretty cool). As noted by another poster, the Wine project has a crushing hierarchy, and will make you fight to get anything accepted.If anything, find a piece of software you like using and help out with it.Alternatively, why not look at contributing some documentation to Wikibooks or a similar documentation project? Or both - some coding, some doco?
