In addition keep an eye on this list. We will, within a few weeks, be
launching a new mentoring exercise that can help newcomers like yourself
navigate your way through your first steps in the ASF.

Which project(s) you might want to work with should depend more on
what your own personal interests are than on "needs resources". One
of the nice things about open source projects, though, is that there
is no upper limit on how many people can participate, and also no end
to the potential improvements and bugfixes that could be worked on.
You can basically assume that all projects will always need resources
:-).
As to how to go about this with Apache projects, I would suggest
starting with some reading on the Apache "getting involved" page:
http://apache.org/foundation/getinvolved.html
which has links to more information about the various ways to
contribute, starting from just using a product and giving feedback all
the way through becoming a committer that gets to help decide the
future direction of that project. Just be aware that, if committer is
what you want to become, it can take a while -- but the more active
you are in the earlier stages, in general, the less time it will take.

All proejcts need help. Given you say Tomcat and Struts are strengths
I'd suggest they are good places to start.
I just added the following text to our FAQ [1] in response to your
question - I hope it helps (it will be visible on the public FAQ in an
hour or so).
h2. How do I choose an Apache project to work on?
The key to working on projects at Apache (and any open source for that
matter) is to have a personal reason for being involved. You might be
trying to solve a day job issue, you might be looking to learn a new
technology or you might simply want to do somethiung fun in your free
time. The key is that you must *want* to get involved. It is also
important that you have appropriate skills to be able to help the project.
Our [projects|http://projects.apache.org/] provides a useful index of
projects which allows you to view projects alphabetically, by category
or by language. When you view a projects detail page in this list you
will find details of their mailing lists, issue tracker and other
resoutrces.
In the projects issue tracker you will find details of bugs and feature
requests the project would like to work with, this should give you some
inspiration about how you might be able to help the project community.
If you see an issue you would like to tackle its time to join the
projects mailing list and get started.
h2. How do I get involved with an Apache project?
You can certainly improve your programming skills by watching the commit
lists, receiving code reviews and participating in discussion. Howeverm
this learning opportunity is a healthy side effect of open source
activities rather than a goal in itself. Nobody in an Apache project is
going to spend time teaching you programming 101, technical writing or
testing (to pick just a few skills we need). You need to know the basics
and be willing to research the rest.
Our mentoring programme, see below, is designed to help you understand
how to get guidance with respect to how to take your first steps in an
open source project. You will also find our [get
involved|http://apache.org/foundation/getinvolved.html] page a uaseful
starting point.
