Hi Thiago,

I had a look at the page. Looks fine for the questions you answered.
No comment on the FIXMEs. I'm not sure what they mean about the
"backup organization adminstrator"...

A couple of suggestions:

- I think we should mention the reverse debugging project only
it teawater is willing to get involved, if not mentor someone.
Do we expect this to be a large project? Doesn't feel like it.
Perhaps this should be included as part of the "bug-squashing-fest"
idea?

- For the "fix bugs in bugzilla" idea, perhaps we should include
a few examples of issues that we'd like to work on. It doesn't
have to be bugs, it could be code cleanup, etc. I think some
examples might help create interest.
