What sort of experience are you after? For technical writing, there are any number of free software projects that are badly in need of good documentation or even 'what is this anyway?'-type introductions. Similarly for writing code: any project that's set up for collaboration (i.e. most you will find) will have a bug list that's usually got some low-hanging fruit in to get started with. As for system administration, the way most of us got experience with that was treating our home computers as mission critical servers :-) The main thing when it comes to finding something to help out with is: what sorts of things are you interested in? What sorts of things do you use, even? Find out where those things come from, and see if anything needs doing. Tim. */
