I could use some of my time to help others participate in the
community.

It's just a matter of ideas. Maybe we could revisit some of those we
had for GSoC. If I'm reading the deadline for project ideas is
October 22nd, so I think we'll definitely come up with something.

In first pitch this might be a rewriting of storage driver to handle
jobs (our failed GSoC project from this year), and if admin API gets
added, there will be many APIs and ideas how to expand it.
