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.
