I was just reading this old thread, and there was something Emuz said that caught my eye:

I've been looking for ways to make my resume stand out somehow, and an online team project sounds interesting. So I want to ask everyone: What sort of projects would be good to think about? I imagine I'd go for something programming oriented, but I don't have any clear direction yet. I'd like to hear what you guys would do.

Contribute to open source stuff? I guess. I don't know. I haven't done much of anything on that front.

Definitely this. I remember reading several people saying that if you want to get good at programming/art/music, contribute to open-source stuff. You can then take that experience for your resume and learn good programming/art/music practices from other people. As long as the evidence is there, it'll go great lengths to helping you.

I think both could work good. Open source stuff is great, and if you want to work for a programming team someday, a team project would definitely be a great assist too.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
