The folks at  Squiz [http://www.squiz.co.nz] have built a sweet
suite of tools to help people participate in Mix and Mash.  You
can submit ideas for mash-ups if you don't think you are able to
build them yourself.  You can browse ideas if you want to build
something but need inspiration.  There's even a matchmaking
service available, to help build teams with a variety of skills.
Ooh-la-la!
