  I second these suggestions, since it is obvious that the potential
new developers of the "GNU packages", "GNU applications" or "GNU
platform ..." will first search the gnu.org website for the information
about the projects they could start with. 
  So, in order not to loose them at this very first stage, there must be
at least an easy-to-see link to the corresponding resource on the
gnu.org. And of course, to my mind it would be much better to have the
wiki.gnu.org or something like that. It would be logical and easy to
find.
