Maybe old timers could also want some interesting/useful problem to work on. I suggest that we collect a list of projects or areas where improvements would be good. We could host that in a .md document in the main repo, or perhaps a wiki page at GitHub. In any case, what follows is the first sketch I could come up with. Please answer with your own ideas, comments and corrections. </blockquote><div> </div><div>We could use GitHub projects as well!</div><div>We used it to track tasks in many projects and it worked just fine :)</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"> Rubén, feel fre to pick any!
