This could be possible if we have enough mentors. And from what I
understood from Shaun, this is part of the issue. Note that I don't
think I'd be a good mentor for docs, eg. Maybe all potential mentors for
such tasks could sign up somewhere? (and create a least a patch to show
that they'd really be good mentors ;-))

If it's not about code, not, it couldn't. Note that we had two students
working on a Mallard editor last year (or was it two years ago?). We can
have more students working on this this year, I guess.
