Here's our 2017 page:

Do be aware that you're pretty early for 2017: I don't expect us to have 
ideas pages until February 2017.  But there's no harm in getting 
yourself set up and learning to fix bugs while you wait -- knowing how 
to use your development environment and how to submit bugs and 
communicate with developers are *always* useful skills.

Also, if you're interested in web scraping, you might want to talk to 
the fine folk at Scrapinghub:

Here's their ideas page from last year to give you some idea of what 
types of projects their students work on:

Good luck!
