I'm asking folks interested in GSoC this year to find a small feature
request or bug to address as a way to get acquainted with the project
and the community.

1. Find a bug/feature on the wiki or BTS
2. Research it a bit
3. Talk about it on IRC
4. Implement a fix
5. Send a patch
6. Respond to feedback

Pick something small - it's more about the process than the code.
