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
