They probably need people to write documentation, do testing. Write and offer. You never know. Agreed about its being worthwhile. It could really make a difference.

I agree with your statement that there is a job for everyone when it come to FOSS.
web site maintenance, documentation, support are three ways every user can contribute back.

Some of the jobs that come to mind are, spell checking and use of proper English.. there are a large number of hackers from non English speaking countries tho most projects use English as there primary language.

You can join a discussion list and see what the most FAQ's are.. and then write a new or keep there FAQ up to date. do spelling and grammar checks on technical documentation.

There is always a need for more people to help with support on IRC or discussion list. If you know something and some one else doesn't then you can indeed help...
