I think there are a lot of people who could need a help. But what is 
your back-ground, which is the kind of project to be interested in, in 
which kind of work do you think you could help out? I think a good 
approach would be to write a bit about this and open a thread in the 
developer forum in talk [1]. I'm sure that somebody will come then to 
you. If you are familiar with Qt maybe this would be a possibility [2] ;)
