HI Yotam, All,

I don't see why not, assuming we, as an organisation, are interested in
participating we should start to get some ideas down on the WiKi and take it
from there.

I'll try and crib some pages together later but input into the tasks (esp.
considering they need to be many, many times smaller than GSoC tasks and are
bounty based) would be appreciated.

So -devel, what sort of tasks do you think we should be looking at
suggesting?

http://code.google.com/opensource/gci/2010-11/faqs.html#coq6 and
http://code.google.com/opensource/gci/2010-11/faqs.html#tasks should give a
good idea of the sort of task sizes that the program is looking for.

Cheers,

John
