I'm working for a German based non-profit on a project called spenden.de (roughly translates to donate.com). We are planning to do something inbetween www.guidestar.org an www.charitynavigator.org (the regulatory framework in Germany is much different therefore the comparison is very rough). Currently there is only a placeholder on the main page but you can find our prototype at http://beta.spenden.de http://beta.spenden.de. The new site is developed in RoR. We are thinking about making the code available as open source and are able to provide donation receipts but the latter would probably only help you if you fill your taxes in Germany. Currently we are relying on freelancers which are doing a great job and don't charge their usual rate but since our budget is extremely limited we could move much faster with some extra help. I even started to teach myself some programming but might never be able to contribute significantly to the project (codewise). If this sound at all interesting to anyone please let me know. I have very good experience with people working from abroad so at least that shouldn't be an issue. Besides actually code contribution a mentor helping me to improve my RoR skills would also be very appreciated (I'm currently at chapter 4 of railstutorial.org but without any prior programming knowledge this might be a long journey... ).
