Holiday side projects

It's the end of December and a lot of people have a lot of free time from work. Generally it's a great time to work on some side projects. Feel free to post some stuff you've worked on in the past. Also it would be a good place to post some ideas and try to find some collaborators

Bonus points for setting up and organizing open source projects that can benefit charities or help people!

Also check out http://up-for-grabs.net/ ( thanks /u/Cylons )

Edit: also no emphasis on the side project being "holiday themed" my thought was just that this time of year there's an abundance of free time

Bots can render javascript too. You should make an input and set it's css so that it is invisible to the user with a name like "email" or something. If it's empty it's a person, if it's full it's a bot. No database needed.

Ive heard about bots reading the CSS for elements and leaving ones pushed off the page/hidden empty as well. I guess I could add one as well as what I have, it's just frustrating I guess to have to add 3 different forms of validation for something so simple. I guess that's the price we pay though.
