Ok, let's move the discussion to

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects

because this final sprint requires (hopefully!) many posts from many people.

Please go there if you want to help any of these candidates:

* Gadgets: needs at least one project idea and one mentor.

* Write useful Lua modules: needs at least one project idea and one mentor.

* Phase out the Vector extension; merge the good parts into core: needs maintainers' buy-in, a defined project scope and at least one mentor.

* Work on outstanding Parsoid bugs and/or add features: needs at least one project idea and one mentor.

* Improve Extension:CSS: needs more feedback from security & MediaWiki developers. (discussion thread)

* Add support for x3d 3D files to MediaWiki: needs more feedback from 3D savvy users and developers and at least one mentor.

* Improve the mediawiki-bugzilla extension to a deployable level: needs Bug Squad buy-in and at least one mentor.

* Work on RefToolbar: needs discussion (work on the extension or on a VisualEditor module?) and at least one mentor.

* co-ment-like tool for inline comments: needs at least one mentor.

* Build an interwiki notifications framework and implement it for InstantCommons: needs Commons feedback/buy-in and a second mentor.

* Browser Test Automation: needs at least one project idea.

* System documentation integrated in source code: needs more definition (a MediaWiki extension to integrate source code docs?), feedback / buy-in from MediaWiki developers and at least one mentor.

* Extension pages management: needs reasonable project scope, mediawiki.org community buy-in and at least one mentor.
