Hi Stef -

I hope you're not too disappointed but personally I don't think that 
this list is particularly well suited for applying bounties. Most of the 
goals seem way to unspecific ("improving", "fixing", "making X better" 
mean little without saying what to improve, fix, or make better) and 
some of the tasks seem quite large and/or complex. But feel free to give 
it a shot, your opinion is as good as mine (or perhaps better) in this 
area. I'm actually kinda curious myself what (if anything ;-) might happen.

Cheers,
   - Andreas
