Thanks,
I might learn some coding and try to make this project for my own use at
first. I've done some research into similar projects and for some reason shells
with ease-of-use enhancements have never caught on.

I don't want to rain on your parade or anything, but I suspect
that your chances of finding anyone is vanishingly small.
The reasons for this are as follows:
- Most people who know how to code have enough projects of their
own that they don't have time for. For me, I have a list in
a text file of stuff I'd like to do if I could find the time.
If someone was willing to pay me my current salary, it would
take me about 10 years to complete my current list. After the
first year, i suspect that list would grow to 20 years work.
- It sounds like this project of yours would have two participants,
you in a management role and someone else in a coder role.
Unfortunately, I think you will find that most coders will have
had numerous bad experiences with bad management and would be
unlikely to find an un-paid volunteer project that had a non-
coding manager all that attractive.
Honestly, coding is not that hard and can be extremely rewarding
(both personally and professionally) if you take the time to start
learning. Be aware however, that learning how to program can take
some time to really master:
