If you look at: https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_Projects does that help in the selection? Granted it could be expanded, but that brings another question (Lars, Cc-ing you for this): There are some projects, like: a) Re-implement the physical CPU hotplug capability in 'xen-hptool' in libxl, or b) Re-implement xen-livepatch inside libxl which can take, oh, a couple of weeks to for newbies to get done?

Currently my main interest is Xen networking performance (saw some interesting prototypes made with DPDK and I'm trying to set up some proto using grant tables). The other area which looks very interesting is the PCI and stubdom area.

A full-fledged program like kernelnewbies is way more than that, and is not easy to put together. For what it's worth, we already try to participate to programs like Outreacy and GSOC, but certainly we can improve some of the sections of our wiki with what you say in mind --e.g., the one(s) when we try to keep a list of small projects. I'll try to find some time to look into this and do something. Thanks for your interest and suggestion.
