You might also want to check out the app I started at the last Melbourne rails camp designed specifically for this purpose:http://github.com/tobico/letsdostuff It was designed to hook into Twetter and run "at" rails camp, but I'm sure it could still be useful beforehand, hooked into the real Twitter and running online.

Let me start by saying it was totally awesome to see so many people get into Brains at the last camp and we might try and cook something new up for this camp. (Although I think after our complete GameJam fail Chris Lloyd may be pussying out). Anyway! I want to float an alternative idea to designing a computer program that fights off zombies and kills your fellow campers. I thought with a little organisation we could get a list of _real_ sites/apps that could be built. If anyone knows of any Charities or non-profits that could benefit from a bit of haphazard hacking I think we could get a list of interesting projects that groups of people can get together and build. I'm sure a few people better connected than me know of a few organisations we could contact. It would a good way for people who want to learn rails/sinatra/node.js/mongo/whatever get together in teams and also help alleviate the "what am I gonna work on" problem. I propose that we ask around and get a list of project ideas onto the railscamp wiki. Maybe to make the projects more interesting we can also dictate that at least one bit of crazy tech must be used in the creation : ) It would be awesome to see apps that live on after railscamp and help people out.
