Some work started here already, see https://wiki.debian.org/Kids .
Not a priority at the moment.

I have started documenting the current team resources, practices,
and tools.

I have added some new tasks and added a few packages to
existing tasks. Not uploaded yet though.

It is a nice idea but I could not get this to work, am I doing something
wrong? It just shows an empty search box with no content.
In what task should this go, junior-system?

There will be a nordic Debian meetup at FSCONS in early
november. [0,1] Interested people could join there! It will most
probably not be a sprint but it can be a start just meeting in
person.
In Sweden there has started quite some momentum around
Debian, I figure this meetup can be very cool to attend!

This would be nice. I am not there, if someone wants to report on the
team progress feel free. If you need help to figure out what has
happened so far, ask me!

There is now a team packaging infrastructure (repository and
maintainer list) which should be used for this.

Nothing done here yet.

I am unsure what "use ... task pages" meant. But the blends
web sentinel is updated with the new repository url (which is
now in git) for junior tasks.
