I think one of the hardest things to do, for both non-profits and volunteers, is to identify an appropriate project. One thats sufficiently interesting for volunteers to work on, but manageable within a limited time frame and requiring limited resources, and still useful to a non-profit.
I also think you may be underestimating the effort on the part of the non-profit to get a volunteer up-to-speed with necessary information and to be available to answer volunteers' questions.
That's a good point. My feeling is that some non-profits are willing to put up with this inconvenience. It's likely that they will be the smaller ones with fewer resources. This won't be a good fit for everybody.
I'm imagining non-profits that need help with things like setting up wordpress being interested in this.
Yeah - I also think this would def work better with one-off projects (like wordpress set up) rather than for projects they have to plan for or need long term
