title: "I need a new open source project"

A few years ago I wrote [this rousing email](http://lists.tldp.org/go.to?list=discuss&cmd=showmsg&msgnum=12696) about the Linux Documentation Project and I made waves in a mailing list that lay mostly dormant for years. After the list was rejuvenated, I set out to learn git, then then to find pieces of Linux documentation all around the web and add it. The idea was, find a central place (i.e. TLDP) to store all of the documentation from here and there and then replicate that central store all over the globe for redundancy so it is never lost. I had big goals and then nothing really came of it.

_sigh_

Why did nothing happen? 99% was me and my own laziness/busyness/etc. The other 1% was that there isn't a community there. The mailing lists are dead. The wiki is never updated. New documents are rarely added and old ones are never retired (not deleted, just retired). I felt almost alone in this huge wasteland of a site with so much potential.

I need a new open source project
|
||
|
||
I want to find a project that I can help with, can make a difference in, and that has a community that is actively working in it.
|
||
|
||
I have a few projects in mind. I'll post more when I make a decision.
