This can be anything; do you know an extra language which you can write? Do you have an extra computing skill? Are you a good writer? Are you good at photoshop?
Share anything you feel you're good at on this thread, anyone who wants help from you can then ask you. Or you can ask them.
Re: What Unique SKILLS do YOU have to help the Ummah?
Unfortunately, I don't have the skills that are needed. However my skills are which I use (or would) at my work. That's all! I am a server administrator.

That's a really good skill. If you want to get involved in a project, can you contact brother Tilmeez from these forums and tell him you want to help in an english to Urdu project. He will then tell you what to do next inshaa' Allah.

I'll be using your skills soon inshaa' Allah
What kind of things can you produce with your videos? High level graphics with high quality audio, or more like recorded videos on a camera with editing?
Re: What Unique SKILLS do YOU have to help the Ummah?
Well, I better get explaining then.
There's 7 of us who make these films, and we work together. I only started making shorts last year May, but alhamdulillah, so far, so good.
Yes, we can produce hi-level graphics in the videos, and the audio can be cleaned up and mixed for the video too. As for the video clips themselves, well, they are only as good as the camera that took them, or the site they were pulled off. But we have a few tricks up our sleeves to make crappy clips look half decent, using a few filters and some clever effects. Same with the sound. We prefer to work with high quality footage and sound, always. But we understand that sometimes, we just have to make do with what we have lol... it's a good thing that 3 of us can use After Effects to a decent standard too. This helps to give the vids that pro touch.
I'd love to work on a project with IslamicBoard, and for the sake of educating Muslims or for giving dawah.
Let me know what you'd like us to do, I'll involve all 7 of us in this one insha-Allah

you learn to only put a deal on the table that ur willing to go through with without bluffing or making empty threats or promises
you learn that sustenance is from Allah and not from ur boss - well Allah is your only boss so you learn to submit and follow orders of none but Him
you learn to deal with workers and how to be understanding of shortcomings.
you learn to create ur own space and set the rules
and you learn to keep track of a million things happening at the same time - though i sometimes just stop and leave it all to pile up.
and most importantly, you learn to give up your time to go to events so you learn sacrifice and you don't have to ask someone else's permission to do so.
i can try help with vids too, but i don't normally go into spending time on visuals,
if u need any vinyl banners, t-shirts, business cards or anything, lemme know.
and i can also help with basic website building, html not asp.
and if u need any computer parts or have any issues with them i can do my best InshaAllah.

Periwinkle, why don't you try to make Islamic fun stories for children? Or some fun games kids can play? I'll try to help with ideas and maybe if someone is a good drawer, I can get their help too for this project. I'm also trying to contact a Muslim board game company but they're not replying yet.
