Recently pointed at this recently developed app: https://github.com/premasagar/tasket

An open source micro-volunteering app, allowing individuals and groups to create and keep track of small tasks.

Aside: I know the developers ...

There's also Bossa and now PyBossa a port of Bossa to python (with which I'm involved).

Bossa is a "distributed thinking" (aka volunteer task allocation) engine built by the people who built BOINC -- the well-known distributed processing system (BOINC is used in seti@home and many many other distributed processing projects).
