Hello,

This is last call for action. 

As for now, we won't qualify. I suggest doc@ and ports@ and www@ and src@
teams to try to come up with some ideas and add them to Wiki. Most of the
ideas which we have so far are more GSOC-alike.

Unless we have at least 80 tasks of the "easy"/"medium" type, we'll have to
postpone participating in Code-In for next year.

Thanks,
