This list is by no means complete, we're still getting our mentors lined up for this program and are waiting for confirmation to be a mentoring org before setting up all the 3rd party projects that have been a bulk of our students in past years GSoC/GHOP.

Research

• Find all Django dependencies that still need to be ported to Python 3 [expert] (wsgi)
• Find all Turbogears dependencies that still need to be ported to Python 3 [median] (wsgi)

Training

Translation

User Interface

• Enhance the Distutils2 mkcfg wizard (script to create a Distutils2 package) [median] (packaging)

Adding new tasks

Add new tasks only in the above 8 categories.

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
• wsgi - Web Service Gateway Interface and related packages
