As I'm on the Community Tech team, I'd love to mentor someone working on a community-centric project. A potential issue I see there is scope and identifying requirements. It's very easy for onlookers to continue making suggestions and saying that this and that needs to be tweaked, even as the project goes on, and dealing with that process can take a lot of time. In a 10-week internship, it's more of a problem if consensus suddenly shifts around week 8 and suddenly the thing they've been working on is no longer wanted in its current form.
