Now, ANYONE can easily make updates to an informal list of projects needing volunteer developers with a few clicks because the table exists on a wiki page!
This group is perfect for you if:
- you're a Drupal project maintainer/developer looking for a place to post your request for volunteer developers!
- you're a Drupal developer looking for a project that needs your help!
This group was created because a need exists to match Drupal developers with Drupal projects being worked on by project maintainer/developers needing volunteer developers** in order to enhance and add to:
- Drupal core
- Drupal contributed modules
- and other Drupal-related projects.
There are project maintainers/developers that prefer actual coding assistance over funds and, likewise, developers out there who want to volunteer their time and skills to projects needing them. This new group hopes to satisfy both project maintainers/developers and volunteer developers by centralizing the various projects here for easy review and discussion and helping the parties link and match up.
Volunteer developers can help the Drupal community, and themselves, by contributing their skills and time to specific projects. This will help Drupal projects receive the necessary support to get them finished and donated back to Drupal. It's a win-win-win situation where the Drupal community, the volunteer developers, and the project maintainers/developers hoping to complete a project all benefit!
If you would like to receive volunteer developer's assistance in order to help complete a project**, this group is for you! Your code contributions are both needed and very much appreciated so if you need help, ask for it and, hopefully, someone will lend you a hand. Please leave a comment that includes:
- Project maintainer(s)/Developer(s) and/or company name(s) with a link(s): (examples: Derek Wright (dww on Drupal.org) or CivicSpace or BuyBlue.org)
- Project being worked on: (examples: the new system for releasing Drupal contributions or og2list or organic group enhancements)
- Any specifics on the type of volunteer assistance you need (example: hard coding or coding review, etc.)
- Web site and/or contact info with additional information (if applicable): www.example.com/help-me-build-a-coffee-maker-drupal-module
If you would like to be a volunteer developer, this group is for you! Your time and skills are both needed and very much appreciated. You'll learn about some exciting projects that need help because developers will post their needs here. Please leave a comment that includes:
- Your volunteer and/or business name with a link(s): (example: Walt Esquivel, Wellness Corps)
- Web site(s) with any additional information you might want to include: (example: www.example.com/i-love-to-volunteer-my-time-to-drupal)
Thanks,

Existing or Fresh new project

Newbie Looking for Pro-Bono Projects (Ecommerce?)
I previously was working on an ecommerce site which had much potential for growth. 15 hours into getting the right modules, doing some work in taxonomy and focusing on the functionality of the site...the project got pulled from my docket. So now, I have no idea what kind of thing I can do to continue enriching my Drupal skills. Sadly, I learn best by doing.
Any chance that I might find someone here looking for someone willing to work for low pay or pro-bono, since it is the experience I seek most. If that is not what this group is for, than I apologize.
Skills I possess:

Could someone please take over this group?
I'm currently the "Manager" of this group but am trying to cut down on my group subscriptions and desire to leave this group. When I go to "My Membership" for this group, it states: "You may not leave this group because you are its owner. A site administrator can assign ownership to another user and then you may leave."
So, anyone interested in taking over the group? Please let me know by posting a reply here.
Thank you!
Walt
Alternative Currency Support
Hundreds of communities trading with complementary currencies need this!
Two years ago, working with the UK Coordinator for LETS I prototyped an architecture to support these communities with all their variants. Right now I have time to port it to Drupal which is the obvious platform. Progress is slow because I'm learning on the job, so this project needs mentoring.

an experimental platform
You might be interested in an experimental platform based on Drupal 5.1 that we are making for small linguistic entities. Basically it delivers the capability of speaking, along with reading, by introducing an added MP3 vocal file to all nodes and comments.
The english version is at http://eng.i-iter.org a first running example in the piemontese language is at http://pms.i-iter.org
We look for volunteer developers and translators to localize the platform into other languages, so feel free to add requests to join the alpha stage. Bear in mind that alpha really means alpha...

Marketplace for Module Development and Improvement– pooling resources of developers
I'm glad Darren Oh has got a solid proposal for this group. I would suggest that the most needed aspect of a Drupal marketplace would be a way for individual Drupal users and Drupal shops – especially smaller shops – to pool resources to fund specific module development.
User dahacouk called for more structure and a funding model to make the quality of contributed modules the best they can be.
To quote from my endorsement and proposal:
Read moreHow to help with the project* modules
The project* collection of modules (Project, Project issue tracking, and CVS integration) is the largest set of code running on drupal.org besides Drupal core. They are the key tools that power all Drupal development, including the Drupal issue queue and Drupal release system. Because of the huge user base, high visibility, complex requirements and feature requests, and size and scope of the existing code base (and issue queues) there is a ton of work to be done. This wiki page is how I (dww, the primary maintainer of project*) will try to communicate the best ways for other people to get involved in helping. One of the ways to help is to improve this list, so please add your own ideas here.

This is an informal list of projects needing volunteer developers. To be clear, this group is for Drupal maintainers/developers who would like volunteer help from the Drupal community in order to complete a Drupal core or Drupal contributed module. This group is not for folks desiring help with their web sites.
In order to periodically update the status of Projects Needing Volunteer Developers, please refer to the table which is an informal list by the respective project maintainers/developers. ANY maintainer/developer can easily make updates to a project's table with a few clicks because the table exists on a wiki page!
If you maintain a project with a reverse bounty and have knowledge on any of the info listed in the table for your respective project, please add your comment to Projects Needing Financing so that it can be included there instead of here since this is more along the lines of code contribution/collaboration.
Read moreProposal: drupal.org testsite install profile
this is an idea i've been thinking about. posting it here so other folks can add to it, provide feedback, etc.
Summary
we could really use an install profile that setup a test site similarly to how drupal.org is configured (especially the project* modules and CVS integration). obviously, it wouldn't have the bluebeach theme, but otherwise, it would look fairly similar to d.o in terms of structure, content, permissions, etc.
this would greatly help people who wanted to reproduce bugs and test patches for the project* family of modules, which is something we desperately need more of.
