Even if chances don't look good at this time for Ruby Central to be 
accepted as a mentor I would still like everyone to add new items to 
http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?HowToHelp -- even if it does not ending 
up being useful for the Summer of Code it will still provide a central 
resource for people who are not sure of how they can contribute to the 
Ruby community.

Thanks for any additions in advance!
