No offense taken.  I think you are looking out for the interest of the 
poster and people wityh similar interests.

I can verify how hard to cut off a chunk for a new developer:  I had an 
intern I was working with this summer.  Most of the time was spent on 
learning the development process.  It would not be appropriate for 
someone in Patricia's position to try and come in and get a bug fix 
through.  That limits the number of projects available.


Typically, and internship or a senior project like this is the correct 
place for a proof of concept or side project.  The project can be done 
with a focus more on functionality and less on stability.


We should come up with a published list of "intern and senior projects 
proposals"
