I particularly like the suggestions for projects, which at first blush, look like they are geared to an undergraduate audience. I suspect there are folks with the ability and inclination to contribute to Sage, but they don't always have a good idea where to start. So including these suggestions in a high-level "Grand Tour", from somebody who holds the big picture (that'd be you, William!), perhaps revised periodically (annually?), might be a great way to stimulate involvement.
