It's not so much that you'd have to make that judgement. That's
something product owners can tell you. The hardest part is to get hold
of product owners and get them to suggest some tasks. And then you need
to fill in the parts they took for granted, like what their product does
and how a new volunteer would get up to speed, and make it sound
appealing. Easy, eh? :)
All the best,
Karsten
