Here are the Sitecore Shared Source projects to which I have recently contributed:

• FieldValueComparer - Sort items (based on this post).
• LinkProvider - SEO URL features (based on this post).
• MediaUrlTransformer - Prefix media URLs in RTE fields with a leading slash character, optionally convert media URLs in RTE fields to lowercase.
• PageNotFound - Pipeline processors to handle the HTTP 404 Page Not Found condition.
• XslHelper - XSL extension method library.
• Library - Common component library.
• SublayoutParameterHelper - Retrieve parameters and data source passed to sublayouts.
• PublishingSpider - Workflow action to publish item and references.

Here are some suggestions for Sitecore shared source contributions:

• Use C#.
• Use Resharper, Stylecop, Agent Smith, and Agent Johnson as described in this post.
• Resolve all code validtion issues before checking in any file.
• Keep line length below 80 characters when possible.
• Include the URL of the shared source project in each source code file.
• To make your code easier for other developers to read, avoid ternary expressions.
• To make your code easier for other developers to read, fully qualify classes in namespaces other than System, at least on the first use of each class in each method.
• To make your code easier for other developers to read, avoid use of the var keyword.
• Use protected instead of private where possible.
• Use namespaces within the Sitecore.Sharedsource namespace that correspond to system and Sitecore namespaces, such as Sitecore.Sharedsource.Web.UI.WebControls.
• Create directories as required to check in files from directories within the Subversion Trunk folder that correspond to the namespace, such as /Web/UI/WebControls for files in the Sitecore.Sharedsource.Web.UI.WebControls namespace.
• Place extension methods in classes named after the method plus the word "Extension" in folders named after the original class. For example, to extend the Sitecore.Sites.SiteContext class with a method named GetSomething(), create /Sites/SiteContext/GetSomethingExtension.cs containing the class Sitecore.Sharedsource.Sites.SiteContext.GetSomethingExtension containing the GetSomething() method. Use namespaces such as Sitecore.Sharedsource.SystemString for extensions to system classes. For example, to extend System.String with a method named GetSomething, create /SystemString/GetSomething.cs containing the class Sitecore.Sharedsource.SystemString.GetSomethingExtension containing the GetSomething() method.

Also, I learned that to nest lists in the wiki, you indent with spacing. So:

 1. Item One.
  * Item One Bullet One.

This post has some other Wiki formatting and shared source contribution suggestions.
