I know that the open source community has given a lot to me. I have been able to tackle some difficult coding tasks by being able to reference works already done by some different open source iniatives.
I think the chicken-and-egg issue about the developers not having experience but needing it to get a job, is definitely something that if the developer could show they contributed meaningfully to an open source project would help there case trying to get a job. It looks good on the resume.
I decided to try and give back to the open source community, and released one of my products as open source now. I am looking for anyone that wants to work on it, or just enjoy using it.

I hope it helps someone save a few hours of headaches, considering it has weeks of work in it.

IE has been saving web pages in MHT files for quite a while. Using MIME parts to point the content, you can still have all the files in a single page.
Its free and also relatively simple to code yourself.
