It definitely is the commonly used term for that sort of thing. But I
would tend to agree that I wouldn't expect people to get excited about
volunteering to be a janitor. Any idea how successful those projects are
at attracting volunteers?
Sadly, I don't have a better suggestion. But no matter how much Michael
says he loves janitors, to me a janitor is someone who has to clean up
other people's crap (figuratively and sometimes literally). And I can
see how that could fail to attract as many volunteers as the "Freeswitch
Happy, Rich, and Well Endowed people" project might.
Like I said: Grab a mop and bucket or get outta the way! It's time to take out the trash. :)
