I've written two more FAQs and added some more content to The Utopian edge for contributors.
New FAQs
How do I find my project?
Projects that have not had any contributions via Utopian cannot be seen on the platform currently. If your project has had contributions, then you can find it by searching for its name in the search box. In the new version of Utopian, project owners will be able to add their projects to Utopian via a different method which includes a lot more metadata. This feature will be available when Utopian gets out of beta.

How do I find contributors to work with?
Utopian utilizes a task request feature that allows open source project owners to announce a task that needs to be done to all interested individuals within the Utopian ecosystem. To find contributors to work with, the first port of call is to make a task request. You can also find contributors to work with by browsing Utopian's contributions and projects showcase pages, which will be available soon when Utopian gets out of beta.
Learn how to create effective task requests
For The Utopian Edge, I added the following content:
Join a vibrant community
Utopian is a place where Open Source contributors converge and work to build and improve their favorite projects. By joining Utopian, you become part of a vibrant community that loves Open Source. You get the chance to interact with and learn from other talented individuals. Utopian was designed to support social activity, with many features that encourage social interaction among people with common goals and interests. More social features will be released as the platform gets out of beta.
Get inspiration for what to contribute
The type of creativity present on Utopian is in a class of its own. Just browsing the latest contributions made to various projects will inspire you in ways only the imagination can limit. You can learn new things and acquire new perspectives by browsing Utopian's vivid collection of contributions. A page that showcases valuable contributions and top performing contributors will be available as the platform gets out of beta.
Discover Open Source projects to work on
Utopian makes it easy to stumble upon a project that you can connect with. Through social activity and regular contributions, you can find many projects whose vision is one you would like to support. A dedicated page on which you can browse through trending, new and featured projects will be available as Utopian evolves out of beta.
