Plenty of tasks to go around! There's more that will be added soon! Pick a task and contact Nikhil to get started! You might have to be added as editor to a spreadsheet etc.
Note: We expect the interns to maintain detailed logs of the steps they do in the tasks they take up, and take screenshots of the most important steps. These would be added to the wiki, either directly by the intern, or they can make a repo of their own and add to their wiki and we'll merge it in once they're done. Github markdown syntax is damn easy and super-cool and we expect interns to learn and get acquainted with it.
