Absolutely!  Of the 71 documentation tasks offered, 65 were completed
successfully.

Lydia wrote the kde-soc-mentor list earlier and said there isn't much
they can do yet as far as getting KDE in the program until after Oct
21.  I guess quite a bit is changing this year:  there will be no
translation tasks (as already mentioned), students will not be paid,
and there will only be one difficulty/point level.

Since so much is changing they aren't comfortable with collecting
tasks yet. However, she did suggest we start coming up with ideas for
tasks so they're ready when they're ready.  So, lets do that.  ;-)
