+For a very experienced developer the hyphenation dictionaries project could be too small for a 3 month period. You can consider adding one of those projects to your application.

+'''Download localization files at runtime''' ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=945123 Bug 945123])

+'''Create helper class for scheduling background tasks with best available system API''' ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1248901 Bug 1248901])
+We need to run the DownloadContentService regularly. For this and other projects we would like to implement a helper class that can schedule these tasks based on some restraints and with the best available system API (AlarmManager, JobScheduler, GcmNetworkManager).
