Tasks need to be organized into eight categories:

1. Code: Tasks related to writing or refactoring code
2. Documentation: Tasks related to creating/editing documents
3. Outreach: Tasks related to community management and outreach/marketing
4. Quality Assurance: Tasks related to testing and ensuring code is of high quality
5. Research: Tasks related to studying a problem and recommending solutions
6. Training: Tasks related to helping others learn more
7. Translation: Tasks related to localization
8. User Interface: Tasks related to user experience research or user interface design and interaction

Within each category tasks should sorted by difficulty level:

1. Novice - these tasks can be done by someone with no experience working with the project
2. Median - these tasks are suitable for someone with some experience in a project
3. Expert - these tasks require knowledge in a specific field or extreme familiarity with a project

Task ideas should be tagged with the subproject they should be mentored for, currently:

• stdlib - Python's Standard Library
• packaging - The distutils (stdlib) or distutils2 projects.

For example:

• Complete documentation for the wsgiref module [median] (stdlib)
• Clean up Distutils2 code using "pep8" and "pyflake" (or "flake8") [novice] (packaging)
• Enhance the Distutils2 mkcfg wizard (script to create a Distutils2 package) [median] (packaging)
