I'd recommend posting to freshmeat, linuxgames.com, and happypenguin.org.
If people are interested, they'll check out your page and some of them
would want to help, if help is desired...

I've been thinking about this too.  What if we have some sort of
developer's forum?  I was thinking a place where people could post
questions and get answers from others with more experience in that area.

It would also be interesting to have something like this sort of merged
with an acutal project... somehow.  It'd be interesting because you could
see how people that have solutions to the problems fix them, and doing so
would help the less experienced types(like me!) overcome the larger
hurdles.  I'm still trying to figure out how this would work, does anybody
have ideas?
