Are there any good places a service-network could donate resources (bandwidth/servers/routing tables/what have you/etc) to for-the-good-of-the-net projects?

This sort of thing used to be quite a bit more prevalent and I wanted to know if there are any clear needs in this area.

My personal favorite is to put up anonymous FTP mirrors for any free/open software projects I either use personally or would like to support. It's certainly not all one can do, but it's a good place to start. -- Scott Francis || darkuncle (at) darkuncle (dot) net illum oportet crescere me autem minui

Speaking on behalf of myself & the security research community, distributed sensor nets are hard to pass up, although seldom available. The Honeynet Project springs to mind, as does our BGP & ICMP efforts here at ISTS. Are you familiar with the DIB:S worm project? We are in need of volunteer participant networks to place behind instrumented routers. http://people.ists.dartmouth.edu/~vberk/papers/iwia03.pdf Any takers?
