What kind of effective project would you make people work on?
Well, just to state the obvious: You can't "make" *volunteers* do anything. They have to *want* to do things. I suggest about the only way you can get volunteers to *want* to do something is to volunteer yourself to create better tools -- available for free -- that the volunteers will *want* to use in their volunteering efforts. Lots of free tools get created in the PG/DP community but they don't get supported nor does their existence get widely and appropriately disseminated. Also other tools are created in other communities which could be better applied but the PG/DP community doesn't learn about those either.
