Hmm, tough to answer without more to go on. I think if I were in your
shoes I'd ask myself where I'm most happy outside of programming. A lot of
good entry level open source work involves combining programming with other
skills.
Are you an artist? Have a talent for strong design and striking expression?
Are you an organizer or a communicator? The sort of person who draws
diagrams and talks to yourself practicing better ways to explain cool ideas
in simple terms?
Are you a scrappy tinkerer? Someone who knows how to get your hands dirty
in a productive way before you're an expert? A wiz with unit testing and
profiling tools?
I do have an education-related project I'm working on where being a smart
but inexperienced programmer might be an advantage. But it's a question of
whether it's a good fit for what you're looking for. Email me if you may
be interested in that.

Hello,
I am a second year computer science student who is very interested in working on a haskell open source project. I have no particular focus on a certain type of application. I am open to ideas and to exploring new fields. What kind of project should I look for considering that I am a beginner? (Any particular project proposals would be greatly appreciated).
Is the entry bar too high for most projects out there for somebody lacking experience such as me so that I should try getting some experience on my own first?
Would it be a better idea to try to hack on my own project rather than helping on an existing one?
Thank you very much for your help.
