I have determined that this could range from anything robot related such as C++, Java, Python, Lua, etc.. Other things that may be requested could be website help, Linux scripts (Maybe for vision processing, hint hint). If you can think of another category let me know.
I am looking for some starting requests to help me get the site running quicker.
Veteran Programmers: Please respond with ideas of tutorials/articles that you believe would help newbies. Also if you would like to write one or more for the site PLEASE LET ME KNOW 
Newbie Programmers: Please respond with requests that have ether stumped you or you are interested in.
Thanks for allowing me to give back to the community,

Jacob,
This would be a very welcome resource to our team!
Things we struggle with are:
- What are the correct settings for Windriver (there are a LOT of drop downs, what do we need to care about and not care about)?
- What is the correct process to develop and deploy code?
- How do we control / affect the polling within the program? In the same vein, how do we check state of a device (switch, etc)?
These may seem basic, but trust me - they ALWAYS cause us more time than we can afford!
Thanks again for giving back.
