Hi Rafaela,

Thank you for your interest in contributing to the DHIS2 project.
We are in the process of changing some of the projects to make them
possible for students who are new to DHIS2.
>From the question that have been coming from the students, we realize that
some of the projects might require quite a bit of understanding of DHIS2
before they can be attempted. So, we are trying to simplify the projects.
I would request you to keep checking the projects page -
http://dhis2.org/gsoc2013

Also would be good if you hung out at the IRC.
There are other students and you might be going through the same problems
of starting DHIS2 development as others.
They will help you or you could walk through those issues along with them.
Our IRC is at irc.freenode.net #dhis channel
