There's lots of easy to fix bugs, I seem to find more of them every day. ;)
There's also a handful of missing functions that could be written, one
doesn't have to search too far to locate those. Just search for
"easy" or "todo" and you'll uncover a few of them.
As for finding project ideas, look at the open tickets and then filter
on type, and select enhancement you'll see 175 or so enhancements
listed, several of which could make for a good GSoC project... (some
of which are previous years incomplete projects?).
