Is there some project that the opensource world is missing that you think it needs?

Tax software. It's the only reason I keep a windows VM.

I considered an accounting SaaS once. Only once though. The amount of constantly changing regulations would make it a very high maintenance project.

Yeah, as a past tax accountant, I wouldn't count on it.

Because not only would you need to be updating tax regulation every year (which is completely unpredictable with new laws and interpretations) you would also need to update it for every country and state/providence.

No one should do that for free.
