I suggest that you read through the ideas page more carefully and ask
if you have any specific doubts. All of these projects have been
discussed in details on this very mailing-list. Please scroll through
the archives (link in the footer) and read more about them.

Also, I would suggest that you choose any one of the Ideas instead
trying to implement all three of them. All of them are fairly big
enough for a summer (although, that does depend on your proposal).

You can get started by setting up your development environment and
fixing atleast 1 bug for any of the projects listed on the Ideas Page.
There should be link to bug-trackers in there too.
