One that springs to mind is one I "started" on Friday, but other people finished on Saturday[1].
Started in quotes because my contribution was combining an existing project that was about to fail due to capacity issues with the infinite botnet of AWS spot instances and the power of Hacker News.
It's more than a decade ago now, but I think it's a good example of a project with a simple goal that enabled people to get involved and feel like they were doing something useful.
