+### Connecting potential contributors with Scala projects via Scaladex
+
+Scaladex is a cool new tool that maps out the known Scala ecosystem by
+connecting GitHub users, published binaries, contributor info, documentation
+info, and release info of Scala projects. The one thing though that Scaladex
+doesn't do yet is connecting potential contributors to Scala projects that are
+on the lookout for contributors. Your task if you take on this project would be
+to find a way to better connect project maintainers with interested open source
+contributors, by building on Scaladex, a web application built with Scala and
+Scala.js.
