Work Queues


If you want to work on Impress stuff, here's places to start looking. Compared to Work Areas, this is for jumping straight in, and usually bite-sized stuff. Fixing bugs from the most annoying section will get you happy users; fixing stuff from the EasyHacks sections will get your feet wet with Impress hacking, and/or help offloading core developers to do nastier stuff.
