I'm not Tim but...

YEAH ! Really good projects for helping newcomers to understand how to 
provide some changes upstream. Why ? Because it doesn't need to really 
know the project you want to work in, but it still needs to understand 
the libraries and some Python stuff. Sounds a really good opportunity 
for win-win between the contributors and the project.

+2 from my opinion, thanks a lot Doug (and I missed your previous August 
e-mail from the ML, sadly)
