Thanks for your interest. All help is very welcome.

If you want to do programming or packaging then almost any bug in the 
bug trackers ([1], [2]) is worth taking a look at.

Some specific things you could do with Python/C:

* Wiki migration [3] (Python): we want to move from PmWiki to MoinMoin. 
Michael has already done some excellent work on this, but it's not 
finished yet. I should be helping him with it, but I'm usually busy with 
other things.

* Porting Ubiquity to Debian [4] (Python/C): there have been some 
efforts in the past, but nobody's working on it now, afaik.

Help on X.org (Siliconmotion driver) is also more than welcome, but that 
may be bit much to ask. ;)
