Here's me, announcing my willingness to pitch in --> \o/
I've written a bunch of webapps for a bunch of purposes, some of them
even in PHP. I don't have any professional experience though, and
haven't coded in PHP in years. I also have never extended or
customized Drupal, I've just set it up a few times out of personal
interest. I'm ready, willing and able, though :)
What I unfortunately am *not* ready to do is offer myself as a lead
for portal development -- unfortunately I don't believe I have the
time right now. I'm an extra pair of agile fingers who could spare a
few hours a week to do what he can for the community.

A place for meeting minutes for MNFI specific meetings could be nice.
Maybe just mirrored from where the #meego-meeting bot currently
stashes 'em?
Some sort of task management system could also be good to have. There
could be stuff there that's just waiting for someone from the
community to go ahead and do it, and it would be a single centralized
place to see what's up with what. Portal improvement suggestions could
also go there.
