The best way forward is to look at open bugs against software you use, whether it be "less", "screen", "ssh", or something more large.

Standalone applications that you yourself use will be more rewarding.

Beyond that it is hard to say where to start; are you a C coder? PHP? Perl? Javascript? Ruby? If you gave even a hint of your level of experience and your preferred language/environment then people could be more useful.

I'm primarily a PHP person. New to Ruby. Didn't want to restrict it to a particular domain. That's why didn't include my tech capability. :-) Thanks for your feedback!
