Ask HN: Small open source project

I'm a programmer whose looking to jump on a small to medium open source project. Anyone know of anything really cool? Or how to find smaller projects?

Thanks!

Interest C#/Java, Ruby/RoR, and maybe some front-end dev.

That's awfully vague.

Find something that you or someone in your life use--or would use if it just did XYZ. Work on that.

If you have a certain skill set that you're looking to hone, tell us about that and maybe someone could offer suggestions.

Yes, I kinda attempted to keep it vague. As of this moment, I'm transitioning into management (or so have been the last month), and I need something to keep me entertained...

Using C#/Java, maybe some front-end stuff would be ideal. Or possibly getting into Ruby/RoR.
