As I understand it, projects neither have to be from scratch nor 
original ideas.  Given this, I'd suggest people peruse RubyForge for 
projects that were started and never finished or are unreleased.  In 
some cases, a helping hand to complete a useful tool, in others, a 
rewrite/new project.  Also, recurring ideas keep popping up on this list 
when new people join:  'Do you have something equivalent to [language 
x]'s [library]?'

I'd love to see someone throw in a helping hand making wxRuby2's 
interface more Ruby-like.  I'd also like to see a cross-platform RAD 
tool in Ruby (a la Delphi).
