The programme FAQ says:

" While we greatly appreciate the value of documentation, this program
is an exercise in developing code; we can't accept proposals for
documentation-only work at this time."

I think we'd need to rethink the easy ones as they seem to be
documentation or artwork. (I expect artwork also counts as !code).

We could add making magic plugins to the tuxpaint list.

Perhaps something for people studying human-computer interaction - how
to design applications to appeal to small children? It could be an
interesting project for a masters student.

Porting to another OS? Dunno how we'd support though.

Working more on localisation/internationalisation? Content as well as
translation.

Making cut down versions for smart phones/mobile devices? eg sugar port.
