  * Targeted Code audit for a specific list of security errors
 
-While an interest in security will make these tasks more interesting, most of them don't require you to be a security expert already. Your your mentor will help you plan a feature before implementing it, and carefully review your code before it is committed to trunk. Most of these tasks will be significantly easier if you already have some familiarity with Django's codebase. A successful application will have a plan which selects related areas of work, provides details, and has a good estimation of complexity for the proposed tasks. Remember that (especially for security work) a good patch often has more lines of tests than code changes. An ideal applicant will be able to demonstrate the skill with Python and attention to detail necessary to make fundamental changes to Django without breaking existing code.
