Ask HN: Which Free Software or Open Source Project Needs Help?

8•em-bee•1h ago
Let's match Free Software and Open Source projects that need help with people looking to contribute. Think of this as "Who's Hiring" but for Free Software or Open Source projects looking for volunteers - a semi regular thread to surface interesting projects that could use more hands.

Please include: Project name and description (if not widely known); Tech stack; Areas needing help (DOCS, CODE, DESIGN, etc.); Level (BEGINNER-FRIENDLY if applicable); Email address, Project website or other means of contacting you.

Ground rules:

Post only if you maintain/run the project

One post per project/suite

No commercial recruitment

No thread complaints

Readers: Only reach out if you actually want to contribute.
