This is in some ways the most interesting area for development as it combines security and distributed systems problems with providing a user interface that lets a person who isn't particularly security minded operate safely by default. This is a hard problem, but offers great rewards in terms of learning, and even the ability to break new ground in safe-by-default interface design.
One specific project in this category would be inventing a new secure decentralized wiki as described at [GSoCIdeas#SecureDecentralizedWiki](GSoCIdeas#SecureDecentralizedWiki). Another would be to extend and improve the current [TiddlyWiki-on-Tahoe-LAFS](http://allmydata.org/trac/tiddly_on_tahoe) implementation, which has the disadvantage that it is not built from the ground up to support secure transclusion and mash-ups, but the advantage that it lets you re-use a large library of extensions for [TiddlyWiki](http://www.tiddlywiki.com/).
Required skills: HTML and JavaScript for web applications. For other tie-ins, will depend on the base project (for instance porting the git DVCS to run on Tahoe would good C-fu, with git experience helpful).
