Hello Quim and others:
I just posted three suggestion there, please feel free to edit mercilessly:
[[Manual:Pywikibot|PyWikibot]] is a Python-based framework to write
bots for MediaWiki. The project just moved its bug database to
Wikimedia's Bugzilla and there are many potential tasks to pick from.
*[https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?action=wrap&bug_id_type=anyexact&keywords_type=allwords&longdesc_type=allwordssubstr&product=Pywikibot&resolution=---&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&votes_type=greaterthaneq&component=Wikidata
Improvement of interacting with Wikidata] including redesigning
interwiki.py and improving harvest_templates.py
*Porting scripts and tasks of compat to core
*Making PWB compatible with Python 3 (forward compatibility).
*Improvement in efficiency of PWB when It's interacting with WMF Labs.
IMO, the first and the second are really important. I'm looking
forward to knowing others' opinion about this :)

Google Code-In is a contest to introduce
pre-university students (ages
13-17) to the many kinds of contributions that make open source software
development possible. Students must complete tasks (see examples), one
at a time. The Google Code-in 2013 contest runs from November 18, 2013
to January 6, 2014.

PyWikibot could be a great project for this program, under the Wikimedia
umbrella. A relatively isolated environment, Python language, plenty of
little bugs and enhancement requests in Bugzilla, potential for
improvements in documentation and tutorials, a vibrant community
including many potential mentors...
What do you think?
We are currently preparing the proposal to apply by Oct 28, next Monday.
If you can add at least 5 tasks to the wiki page linked above then you
will be ready for the next level - if we are one of the organizations
selected on November 1.
If you have questions just ask, here or at the related talk page.
