alexh1on Ask HN: Small Open source projects that need contributions

I ended up getting my first software dev job from this site. Contributed to a project I found on there enough that they ended up hiring me.

Have been meaning to pay back to the community at some point, either via contributions to up-for-grabs or another "open source encouragement" project but haven't had the time yet.
