I think it would be great if someone took on Flavia's work on outreach. She gathered great information on newcomers characteristics and I think we should definitely use this knowledge :) From Flavia's last report, an intern could evaluate and (re)design our ways to reach each of the newcomer types mentioned. This would include, I guess:
* restructuring the "Get Involved" session on the website
* creating/improving promotion material for events,
* a health check on the wiki pages for each team (checking for clear directions for where to start, outdated material),
* promotion, in general (reaching social media, IRC meeting on #gnome-love perhaps...)
* improving/promoting /GnomeIrcChannels with operational and "etiquette" tips - some newcomers still get really confused with IRC, it seems,
* etc, there's plenty of room of getting creativity in action here.
Also, regardless of what the intern would work on, I'd be happy to help an intern with anything related to the website.

All of this discussion about what we could work on during a hackfest
reminds me that we should get an idea or two up on the OPW page if we want
to encourage applicants. Reorganizing our website content and identifying
things that we need (and starting to create those items with others),
identifying things that are old and determining what might be good to
reuse from them, etc, could be a good one.
Flavia, what do you think? :D
Does anyone want to be a mentor (or co-mentor)?
