perhaps check for some other simple modules that haven't been ported to 6 yet ? cross reference something like LOC (not really a good indicator, but still) versus their positions in the d.o usage stats.
Another lovely idea! Adrian, you rock. ;)
I'd be willing to help put tasks together for this, but i'd need access to the metrics, and the downloads.
We had proposals for a couple of "upgrade this module" tasks, but if we could get usage metrics to pick a couple from, that would be even better. The catch here is that we really do need the contrib author's buy-in, because they will need to review whatever patch the student submits.
Perhaps we could make one of the items in the upgrade task , that they should document what questions they have about the functioning of the module, so we can create documentation tasks for modules that require it.
Even more so, we have programmers documentation (doxygen) we could write tasks for as well. Writing Doxygen would give them a good understanding of how the modules are put together too.
http://drupal.org/node/197314 One is in progress. I'm hoping that after it's closed we can re-open it for another student to do a few more core modules. This one was already completed, which totally rocks: http://drupal.org/node/196667 --Larry Garfield
