1) Activity Rescue.
There are abandoned actvitites tha need to be ported to gtk3 or generally resuscitated. For example, some have been left behind on dev.l.o and not migrated to Sugar Labs hosting.
2) Activity internationalization.
There are a number of activities in ASLO that are either English only or Spanish only. Each one could of these could be listed as an individual task to refactor for i18n and submit for Pootle hosting.
3) Infrastructure tasks
For example, I'll be creating a task for a new pootle-helper script to do msgfmt checks on PO files as part fo our regular Pootle cron jobs to prevent build-breakers in PO files from going un-noticed for more than 24 hours.
