Development:Good Bugs and Projects
Camino needs a list of “good first bugs” and bugs/areas of improvement that are suitable for a focused, longer-term project, e.g., Google's Summer of Code, so that interested new contributors without any pet peeves can be pointed towards a concrete list.
For the latter set, we should also include Gecko-Mac platform bugs.
References: Sam's Roadmap, Camino Vote List (bugs with 5 or more votes), bugs marked helpwanted in Camino or relevant Core components
Bugs listed, especially in the “Good First Bugs” section, need to be audited by acutal devs for suitability ;-)
