Maybe OpenOffice should ask for an expert on multi-platform large system
build tools to consult on selecting one?

Apache OpenOffice is overflowing with opportunities to make use of this.
I did not notice a way to indicate that a task has been "taken" or is
completed/withdrawn.
(I could have missed it.)
I assume a potential GSoC mini-project could be identified in the title or
short description, with a link to the JIRA place for further details? The
offer of mentoring could be there too.
Each project could have their own FAQ about general necessities of contribution
how to prepare/start, by subproject area if needed, tied into wherever the
project-level widget is displayed.
The breakdown into areas of contribution is very nice.

Yay! Glad to hear this :)
One suggestion that does not add complexity, but just a little bit of
text. Try to quantify the Difficulty levels. Is "Journeyman" harder or
easier than "Intermediate"? Similarly, how do "Advanced" and "Expert"
compare? I suggest fewer Difficulty options, with a one sentence
explanation of each.
I picked 5 because 3 sounded like too few (too big a jump between
them?). There is an icon next to the difficulty level that shows which
'level' it is, from green (easy) to red (very hard). Maybe I need to
make that more visible?.
An explanation sounds like a great idea, and we can add that as a
tooltip in the widget overview and as a line of text in the actual task
details. I can get started on that right away, whereas changing to use 3
levels might take some getting used to for me (and a bit of work to
rework the existing system down to 3 levels instead of 5).
Or hm, what about a small (?) next to the level which shows you what we
expect this level to signify.?
With regards,
Daniel.
