Hey HN!

I want to contribute more to Open Source projects, but feel like there are tons of projects that don't even want anyone to contribute (e.g. because they still want their name to show up on a "git blame").

So if you have an open source project (preferably JS, but doesn't matter, I'm happy to learn whatever language you use) and you're looking for contributors, have a long TODO.md or just have a couple of bugs, dirty code etc. Let me know! I want to help.

Thanks, Alex

If you're interested in fighting spam, and looking at JS-code, then https://github.com/skx/blogspam.js might be worth a glance.

#25 in particular makes my head hurt, and comments are most welcome.

Check out Quill.org, a free literacy tool that provides writing, grammar, and vocabulary activities to K12 students. We're an open source nonprofit, and we currently have 45,000 students using our platform. We're primarily looking for help with our Rails projects (https://github.com/empirical-org/empirical-core/issues)

We also have a Wordpress community portal (http://community.quill.org) and an Ember/Firebase app (http://quillwriter.org).

Please feel free to reach me at peter@quill.org. I'm the founder of the project, and we'd love to have your help.
