Ask HN: Which Free Software or Open Source Project Needs Help?
Let's match Free Software and Open Source projects that need help with people looking to contribute. Think of this as "Who's Hiring" but for Free Software or Open Source projects looking for volunteers - a semi regular thread to surface interesting projects that could use more hands.
Please include: Project name and description (if not widely known); Tech stack; Areas needing help (DOCS, CODE, DESIGN, etc.); Level (BEGINNER-FRIENDLY if applicable); Email address, Project website or other means of contacting you.
Ground rules:
Post only if you maintain/run the project
One post per project/suite
No commercial recruitment
No thread complaints
Readers: Only reach out if you actually want to contribute.

Super ZZ Zero is one of my projects, which is a game engine written in C with SDL1 (although it may be possible to port it to something that does not use SDL1, too). It is similar to ZZT and MegaZeux. The git repository is: https://github.com/zzo38/superzz0
Some things that it might be possible to help with including, bug reports, feature requests, making a game with it, improvement of documentation if someone finds a problem with it (I think the tutorial document is probably not good enough), etc.
