Greg, in my open-source experience it's best to get to know it and then
dive in where you think it needs the most help.
My guess would be that testing and bug reproductions would probably be
helpful, as would documentation, but that's just my guess. I've started on
a Windows Quick-Start guide complete with context; we could work on that
together if wish. I also have started on getting the Desktop to compile
under MSVC6, which caused me to find a file omitted from CVS... so even
those little things can be helpful.
Or here's an idea, if you want one... The most-repeated question I've seen
is one for a list of low-bandwidth sites. Some sites are low-bandwidth but
spiral out of control dreadfully-quickly (e.g. BBC, which even if you
restrict it to the /2/lo portion quickly gets up into the 300+ files
range). So perhaps a list of sites, short description, and settings
(depth, inclusion/exclusion, etc.) suggested for beginners?
Of course it will be useful to people using any offline PDA browser, but it
would be very valuable not just to beginners but as a reference for others
also.
Just because it's not programming doesn't mean it's not an essential part
of the project!
