Is there a list of these other tasks, somewhere, to prompt us to consider what skills we can offer apart from programming?

Start with an itch, a small itch. Just to identify the itch and mention it on the forum would be progress.

Well, now that you mention an itch, I've always wanted to know how to create a cross-platform program. I've only ever written programs for Windows - and console ones at that. Suppose i write something that gets user input (eg their height in feet/inches) and displays the result of some processing (eg their height in cm). How do i make it work on a Linux and a Mac console? Do i need to add some extra code and, if so, can i see some minimalist source to see what i need to do? Do i need to have a Linux and a Mac computer and bind, shroud, or compile the original program on all three machines separately and then supply the executable that's relevant to them? That would be my itch...
