"Tasks" are meant to be for the project members only. What you want is to
"offer jobs" in your project, which will be listed for anyone, not just
project members. If you enter "Project Admin" (after you've logged in), you
will see a link "Post jobs" which is where you want to announce jobs that will
be listed in "Projects needing help".

It was explained in the page "Projects needing help", but perhaps it wasn't
very clear to you because that page asked you to submit Help Wanted Request,
which means you have to follow the "Post jobs" link in the admin page. An
English-speaker will immediately associate "Help wanted" with "Posting jobs"
(help wanted is the standard name for the section where job offers are listed
in a news paper), but to make it clearer for all users, I've just changed the
instructions in the Projects Needing Help page, making them more explicit.

Cheers,
