Hi Olaf,

This is great to hear. I am looping in the Labs list, as others might have
ideas to chip in.

The join page <http://okfnlabs.org/join/> of Labs lists the current issues
and ideas for new
projects<https://github.com/okfn/ideas/issues?labels=&milestone=&page=1&state=open>.
That might be helpful for finding stuff to hack on.

As for guides, this
doc<https://docs.google.com/a/okfn.org/document/d/1qOJHSaeqtokXUc38Y9Uos5EhevDzIq6N2AQT59FvuP8/edit#heading=h.2csm1m7gujp>from
the London Maker Night both includes various project specific guides
(e.g. for OpenSpending) as well as examples of stuff people have been
working on at previous Maker Nights.

Really looking forward to hear more about Lisbon Maker Night!
