I am currently a resident of a new .hack// place. the staff there are working on a project called Epitaph: The Twilight Children.
Soon, we are hoping this will turn out to be the game it was intended on being; a 3D .hack// based MMORPG.
While production was going smoothly as I've heard, things started to slowly degrade when the site lost a few of its most experienced coders/scripters.
There are tutorials available (from what the owner has told me) for beginners who wish to learn, or maybe just pure newbies who simply want to try their hardest to help out.
I just joined today, and I'd like to see this place thrive. The people are friendly, and the site has decent popularity.
If you're interested, *please please* visit the site and look around. The leader of the project is Cubia-Zetsu. We need all the help we can get.
