help in mentoring... yes
being in toronto 1st october eeeeh, a bit out of question i fear :/


possible projects, tons, like
- someone that helps with the activity stuff, too much to do, not enough 
people with enough time eheh ;)
- Celeste talked to me at akademy about if it was possible to do a statistic 
crawling plasmoid on notifications, for an usability study (would be a throw 
away thing but we would have a serious study that validates, or invalidates 
our system, important anyways)
- the usual mobile stuff
- continuing one of the gsocs (maybe with the student that becomes a mentor 
:p)

but yeah, all useless if there isn't anybody (depends on the cost/gain to be 
there over work and people that could derive from i guess)
