I think a big challenge is coming up with an appropriately scoped project for the intern. You can take a look at previous Outreachy and GSoC proposals[1] to get the general idea, and then think about some area you feel comfortable working in. You're welcome to send ideas or drafts to the list to get feedback. If you're feeling overwhelmed (or even if you're not), it might make sense to try to partner with somebody else as a co-mentor, especially if they've participated in the past. (It might also be that you can offer to co-mentor with somebody else's project proposal). -Peff [1] Older materials can be found at https://git.github.io/, though these days the proposed projects go directly into the Outreachy system.
