Here's my question - and I know it's a long shot. I want to contribute to free software, but to be honest, although I write C/C++, it sucks. I'm not very good and I still have trouble just decoding the source from apps I download. Add to this my virtually complete ignorance of the usage of tools like make and patch (beyond simply applying patches and compiling with make), and it looks like I need to do a good bit more learning before I'll be of any use as a developer.
I would however love to contribute documentation. I am a native English speaker who knows enough Spanish to (slowly) translate documentation. But where do I find it? Is there any place to go to figure out what free software programs are in need of documentors or translators? I can find such a page for specifically GNU software at
http://savannah.gnu.org/people/?category_id=8 .
Is there any such general page for a larger group of free software projects? If there isn't do developers/maintainers wish there was one?
