Do you mean the Free Software Foundation (www.fsf.org) and its GNU
project (www.gnu.org)? They would like;y have some documentation
requirements.
There might also be some at the Open Source Initiative (www.opensource.org).
The Open Source Writer's Group (www.oswg.org) had online lists of
projects that needed writers. I suspect that group is defunct or
close to it. Very little activity on the mailing list.
The Linux Documentation Project (www.linuxdoc.org) are very active.
Evrything from book-sized 'Guides' to short 'mini-HowTos', plenty
of mailing list activity, ...
