Whereby should a willing helping hand begin?

Instead of asking potential developers to go to IRC and ask for new tasks, why not post some tasks somewhere on the site?

Well, it\'s nice to have a bit of a \"personal touch\", IRC is a lot more interactive, and something tells me that it\'s easier for the devs to evaluate competence and suggest tasks accordingly in an interactive environment.  There\'s also your own initiative- I\'m sure you could think up some sort of feature, which would lead you to discover the workings of the system.

I agree dfryer, but I worked in other open source projects, and we have a TODO list posted on the site. If someone gets interested in implementing one item, s/he will send an email to the development mailing list, and we can discuss the issue.

But I guess the first step is to get the system running! which I wasn\'t able to do quite yet.
