I have a side project (webstar-tools) on rubyforge which needs some love 
and attention. Unlike James proposal this would have pretty good freedom 
, although I would have you follow a loose guideline. Since it was 
partially a learning experience for me I dont see why I wouldn't offer 
you the same benefit!

The project would entail usage of file i/o, xml document manipulation 
with rexml, regex's, and working with the optparse library. It isn't a 
huge project, and it isn't something to where there is a time limit, so 
it'd be pretty flexible, and coaching is available...for free, from me. 
Although I dont have quite the rep as some other folks like....*cough* 
*cough* Mr Gray =)

If you are interested please contact me off list.
