Let's match open source projects that need help with developers looking to contribute. Think of this as "Who's Hiring" but for open source - a monthly thread to surface interesting projects that could use more hands.

Please include: Project name and description (if not widely known); Tech stack; Areas needing help (DOCS, CODE, DESIGN, etc.); Level (BEGINNER-FRIENDLY if applicable); Email address or other means of contacting you.

Ground rules:

Post only if you maintain/run the project

One post per project/suite

No commercial recruitment

No thread complaints

Developers: Only reach out if you actually want to contribute.

Icosa Gallery - https://github.com/icosa-foundation/icosa-gallery

A Google Poly replacement with ambitions beyond that. 3D model hosting, viewing, sharing with simple self-hosting and (eventually) federation. An API that's 99% compatible with the Google Poly API means it's easy to revive integrations that used to support Poly. We're also got a dataset that we've cleaned up from Internet Archive scrapes restoring nearly all of the original collection. (about 150,000 models)

Looking for help with the three.js viewer/editor, help with fediverse support, Django database or OAuth experts. And of course documentation, testing, design, ux and everything else.

And anyone with their own project that would benefit from integrating with us.

Stack: Vanilla javascript / HTMX, Django, Postgres, three.js and GLTF

Suitable for any skill levels.
