title: What's a Good First Open Source Project?
body: <p>I'm currently studying computer science and looking for a good way to practice and hone my programming skills.  Contributing to an open source project seems like a natural way to do this to me.  I currently know Java, Python, and some C, but wanted to open this up to any established language.</p>
  
  <p>In particular, I'm looking for a project that's fairly active and has a lot of work for less experienced coders.  </p>
  
  <p>A better known project such as Firefox might have the advantage of being more recognizable on a resume, but perhaps one could have a larger impact on a smaller project.  Any thoughts on this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance =) -Matt</p>
