Volunteering sounds like a great way to spend some time, yep. Are there any local (city/regional) volunteer mailing lists or websites you might be able to find? I've often wondered whether the foundational documents & infrastructure of organizations could be, by default, hosted in public source control as text-files / basic markup. Technology is still a bit too alien for most people I'd guess - software literacy (and, frankly, software simplicity) still has a way to go. And there's a fear of developing and making mistakes in the open. But if every organization had infrastructure developed via code -- even if what they actually achieve as a group has a strong basis in the real world -- that'd make it a lot easier for developers like us to contribute back. Until then, volunteering time and expertise locally sounds good :) Would be great to hear if you find any useful sites / communities for this.
