Hi, It's not an easy task to get "noticed". Well, no i lie - that's easy, start submitting patches. Then you need to find someone who you can nag to get it done. I've offered to a few people to include stuff - just keep nagging me.
Linux projects have the same problem, don't doubt it - but they have a larger group of active people, generally looking after a very specific corner of the world. If you want to join the fray and get a commit bit, just be persistent and be willing to look after one specific corner of the tree. Then you'll be responsible for dealing with others nagging you. :) Getting to that point can take a bit of effort though. In terms of wifi, I jumped in with both feet and asked a whole bunch of questions (and nagged a whole lot of people) until I wrapped my head around things. This may or may not be the way you work. :-) The trouble is it's just (mostly) me. It's a little overwhelming, especially since I don't subscribe to the "copy everyone elses' work and hope it works fine" method of working..
