 [Arduino](https://arduino.cc) is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for anyone making interactive projects. Over the years Arduino has been the brain of thousands of projects, from everyday objects to complex scientific instruments. A worldwide community of makers - tens of millions of students, hobbyists, artists, programmers, and professionals - has gathered around this open-source platform, their contributions have added up to an incredible amount of accessible knowledge that can be of great help to novices and experts alike.

 ### Idea: write examples for official libraries
 
-Many of the official libraries need more examples in order to help users understand how they can be used. Examples are located in the same repository as the library itself.
+Many of the [official libraries](https://github.com/arduino-libraries) need more examples in order to help users understand how they can be used. Examples are located in the same repository as the library itself under the `examples/` directory. If you find a library that has no examples, or insufficient to show its capabilities, that's a good candidate! Make sure you understand what the library does, and what projects it can be used for.
+
+Bonus points to students who also plan to build hardware prototypes that show how the libraries can be used (and document them in [Project Hub](https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub)).
 
 * *Languages:* C++
 * *Difficulty:* Easy/Medium (according to the libraries complexity)
 * *Note:* your application should contain a list of libraries which need examples and which you would like to work on.
 
 ## Portenta
 
+The Portenta board is not available yet, but accepted students will be sent a free one. For now, since we're finalizing the first code repositories, it's not possible to send early contributions. You can still send some contributions to another Arduino repo even if you plan to work on a Portenta (see the [application guide](how-to-apply.md)).

+### Idea: port FreeRTOS to Portenta
+
+This task is about porting [FreeRTOS](https://www.freertos.org) to the new [Portenta](https://www.arduino.cc/pro/hardware/product/portenta-h7) board.
+
+* *Languages:* C++
+* *Difficulty:* Advanced
+* *Note:* accepted students will be sent a free Portenta board. Make sure your application contains proof of experience with the low level programming required for such task.

 ### Idea: write MicroPython examples and tools for Portenta
 
-The new [Portenta](https://www.arduino.cc/pro/hardware/product/portenta-h7) board supports [MicroPython](https://micropython.org) in addition to Arduino code. This combination opens up many new opportunities. This task is about writing examples about using MicroPython on a Portenta board.
