If you're not a hacker and you'd like to contribute your skills, you might want to checkout http://taprootfoundation.org/

Also, I found it a bit lame that feedaneed.org requires you to sign up for a reddit account. Just me, though.

You're not the first person to have mentioned taprootfoundation in response to my FeedANeed pitch, I second that recommendation though I haven't personally had any experience with them.

As for the lameness of requiring a reddit account, this was so that donors could be contacted without any concern of exposing an email address to a third party. It was just the first method that came to mind, esp. given the simplicity of reddit registration.

My feelings won't be hurt if you never use that reddit account again :)

When the times comes, it can be deleted here: http://www.reddit.com/prefs/delete

Though, every time an account gets deleted, we kill an alien.

I felt that way about signing up for reddit as well, but then I realized... It's a wufoo form!

They don't really validate your username!?
