- sandbox porting to Darwin, Solaris, FreeBSD (flameeyes), NetBSD and
  OpenBSD (would love AIX, IRIX, True64, HPUX and Interix too ;) )
- sandbox implementation of bug #205312
- baselayout porting to Prefix (mostly the start stop mechanisms)
- scanmacho (scanelf for Darwin) tool (to replace otool)
- make packages.g.o searchable
- combine packages.g.o and tinderbox.d.g.o
- binary Prefix bootstrap (ultimately using what's on tinderbox.d.g.o)

> 2) We need mentors, so far confirmed I have: Diego and Saleem

For the above things where I don't step on others' toes, yes.
