 I didn't candidate as a mentor myself because Anthony has a better idea wrt
to the public API.

 But I certainly can help with the implementation. I have more two or three
QMP projects to suggest, btw.

 I think that whether a task is small or not also depends on the student,
of course that we should not come up with a project that can be easily
done in two weeks.

 On the other hand, 'not that difficult' tasks can be an excellent project
for those really new to open source and serious development. You know, when
you're a starter you spend quite a lot of time reading code and trying
things out (and there's nothing wrong with that).

 So, for this kind of project the mentor only should take extra care to
choose a student that is really going to learn a lot in the project.
