Let me add my third. I'm a writer, not a programmer, so I volunteered to help edit the online Help. I started doing that, then was informed by the fellow I was working with that the Help was written for people whose second language was English. As such, my edits were useless. So I just started verifying links in the Help, and was informed after a number of hours of work that the links had already been verified automatically. All told, I wasted five or six hours of my time, probably an hour or two of the other guy's time, and the project gained nothing from this involvement. I know how hard it is to direct volunteer efforts, but perhaps a short email from the person you are assisting, spelling out goals, would benefit the project overall.
