Ah, I like it! How about tackling one of these two upstream Pidgin
improvements we need?

https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/7404
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/6232

[Now, we're seriously considering replacing Pidgin at some point, so
perhaps don't spend too much time on it.]

Or, if you feel like it, we would like to see udisks and Seahorse
improved in various ways.

About half of our custom programs are written in Python. The following
tasks might be good entry points:

https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/6878
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/6054
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/6525

... otherwise, ask Alan (alan@???) who might want to recruit you
for working on Tor Monitor :)

Cool. I'll keep that in mind, e.g. if/when we ever try to integrate
git-annex (written in Haskell) into Tails.

It's perfectly fine.
