Arch has some of the best documentation for Linux in general. I ended up there a lot for a Manjaro install but it has solved issues on Ubuntu machines for me. Always pretty obscure stuff.
I recommend reading the wiki and judging for yourself.
When I contributed a binary QR code decoding feature to zbar and the new version landed in the arch repositories, the first thing I did was edit the arch wiki with usage information.
I also documented a process for encoding and decoding PGP keys to and from QR codes using that feature by editing the paperkey article on the arch wiki.
When I installed arch on my laptop, I wasn't able to configure my screen's brightness. Searching the arch wiki revealed that by default the kernel's Intel iGPU drivers would set brightness by PWMing the screen which doesn't work over eDP connections which is what my laptop used, and also documented the exact kernel command line option I needed to make it work.
The Arch wiki is the 1st party official place for developers, maintainers, and users to maintain updated reference material. Whether one considers it up to date "enough" will be a personal judgement call but there is no better place to go in the long run.
Yikes! Looks hopeful as of 3rd of September they say the following on facebook:
> Just a small mid-late month update. Thanks again to everyone who has donated. Small and big all donations make a big difference for our prototyping effort. We are now just waiting on coils and cnc to come through which should be a week or so. We finished clearing away all the rubble from the fire and the new shed is now built and sealed ready to start housing REVR! We have had some very productive discussions and vid calls with people looking to help make REVR happen which we may be able to elaborate on in future. We have also entered the Samsung Solve For Tomorrow comp to promote REVR. There is some more good competition news we can't wait to share. Will have some more substantial updates very soon.

Depends on what are you interested in and if you prefer a particular programming language eg if you are good in say PHP I'd suggest helping the MantisBT project a bugtracker used by a lot projects. https://github.com/mantisbt. or say Python and enjoy genealogy I'd suggest going for Gramps https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps .
Maybe share more info on what you like so we suggest something you might enjoy?
Foveated rendering is a rendering technique which uses an eye tracker integrated with a virtual reality headset to reduce the rendering workload by greatly reducing the image quality in the peripheral vision (outside of the zone gazed by the fovea(The fovea centralis is a small, central pit composed of closely packed cones in the eye. It is located in the center of the macula lutea of the retina.))
Reminds me of another Scifi book called "Light of Other Days" by Bob Shaw in which the story uses the idea of "slow glass": glass through which light takes years to pass.
