I like the ideas Stian suggested. Sounds like a good way to give back!

Google Code In was mentioned on the chat, now there is ASF interest to
register as well. (See below)

I think we can have a go, it is true that it will be many small efforts as
the participants are high-school age (13-17) with perhaps not much coding
experience, but we can ask them to do non-coding things as well.

Some ideas:

* Test Android app on phones in the wild, report bugs/glitches
* Style up our homepage, just some css and bootstrap skills
* Make a new Taverna cog logo, preferably in svg
* Twitter rep - find Taverna stuff and blog/tweet it

Views..?
