Check out the small projects page, which lists some projects that do
not require coding:
http://www.rtems.com/wiki/index.php/Small_Projects#No_Coding_Required

Wiki editing for consistency and content is always helpful.  It would
be great to have a more organized and cohesive wiki experience,
especially for novice users.  Another useful effort would be
de-duplication of pages -- identify pages that appear to be
duplicates, see if one is outdated, and update links to point to the
freshest information.

If you have an idea for a community-oriented project, propose it on
the mailing list or discuss it in IRC.
