This was the list I was looking at (scroll down below the timeline):

  https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/

But yeah, most of the "current projects" lists just say "not available yet", so I think we're actually OK until the 10th.

I think #leftoverbits is your best bet for micro-projects. Last year I think we had interns actually hunt for them via the list archive. That's a little unfriendly for total newcomers, I think, but it also does give a chance to demonstrate some skills. Perhaps it would be help to create a curated list of such bits.
