  Could there be any Template(Data) related tasks that

 by Google Code-In students? For example something like "Fix five
 Templates from the list at XXXX by doing YYYY"?

 I'm happy to help setting up such tasks if somebody volunteers to mentor
 (more than one mentor means less work for everybody) and if somebody
 could add some boilerplate text at

It's possible, though writing TemplateData needs a reasonably strong grasp
of the local community's expectations about template usage and all of the
complexities that goes with that. CC'ed to Elitre and WhatamIdoing in case
they might be interested in mentoring.
