What do you have in mind? Software development, list management, or
something different?

Remember: FLORA is completely volunteer run, and does not itself have
any hardware or similar resources. In order to do things at the
level of software development/etc you need to eithor have your own
hardware, or be able to gain access to someone who will give you access
to their hardware.

After some thought, I probably would like to help in list management. I
have my own hardware at home (ie: Linux machine), so I dont think that
would be a problem. :)

I'll keep your name in mind when a new list needs to be formed, but
nobody is able to handle list management.

What you may want to do is set up the Majordomo package on your own
machine, and become more familiar with it. I know I need advice on
upgrading as I'm running an older version (V1.93) and the new version
contains many features we could use (The most obvious being the
'subscription checker' where a 'subscribe' message must be 'confirmed' by
sending a confirmation email back to the person trying to subscribe).

Thanks for your offer to help!
