Hi,
I assume you already had a look at our bug tracker [0] and feature requests [1]. We also have one challenge left in our contest [2]. The idea is that you have a look at a bugreport, try to reproduce it, try to understand what goes wrong, look in the code where it goes wrong, figure out a way to solve it and write a patch. That's the kind of skills we expect from applicants for GSoC. If you are stuck or need some feedback on how to best solve a bug, you can discuss it on the developers mailing list. We expect you to come with some specific questions or proposals.
I hope this helps.
