I tend to disagree partly. Sure, the the kernel core is much more
complicated these days. Still, if one likes playing with hardware, some
driver subsystems are still easy to get into, and most need help, too.
Stuff like I2C, SPI, 1wire and their slave devices, especially sensors.
Yes, it needs people with this amount of motivation to spend some time
and a few bucks.
