<br>experience. Plus, most open-source projects are desperate for volunteer help.<br><br>I first point people to the 200+ open-source bioinformatics projects hosted at<br>Bioinformatics.Org, of course! ;-) :<br><br> <a href="http://bioinformatics.org/search/fullprojectlist.php">
http://bioinformatics.org/search/fullprojectlist.php</a><br><br>In our full list, we have information/database projects and not just software<br>development projects.<br><br>SourceForge.net also has hundreds of bioinformatics projects, listed under the
<br>category "bio-informatics".<br><br>And, as David mentioned, you might want to consider helping with some of the<br>larger projects hosted at <a href="http://open-bio.org">open-bio.org</a>.<br><br>Another place to look is in journals like BMC Bioinformatics and the
<br>Bioinformatics journal. Every issue is loaded with descriptions of new tools,<br>many of which could be licensed as Open Source (just ask them).<br><br>There are lots and lots of choices, so you can afford to be very picky about
