Please, take the time to have a look at the list of available tasks and submit new ideas to the wiki. If you’ve got some more free time, email optilude and volunteer to help out by maintaining the task list and helping students.
This is a great opportunity to get young people involved in the community and have some niggling issues fixed, let’s not waste it.
