So a week in and a lot of students have installed and enjoyed Ubuntu GNOME.

I have a few students begging me for non-technical Ubuntu GNOME tasks, anyone have any ideas? Stuff that would actually be useful to us, is
best. Documentation, Artwork, Design what not, just about anything apart from translations is fine. Could still use extra mentors if anyone can
help out!

As an example I set a task to cleanup the download wiki page (This is not quite complete just yet) but see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/GetUbuntuGNOME-Copy

Are there other pages that need attention?
