Depending on what tasks Debian will be offering this year for GCI, I
would be willing to help as a mentor. (Note that I'm only a DM, not a
DD.)

As for the tasks themselves, I'd suggest working from last year's
(incomplete) draft [1], as well as one of Ubuntu's bug-fixing
initiatives [2]. We could also use some of the tasks from GCI 2010,
although I can't find a full list anywhere; closest thing I've found
that describes the tasks is one of Ana's blog posts [3].

Vincent
