Are there any simple bugs that I could work on? That would give me a
lot more focus than just looking randomly.
Adding/updating docs is something else that I was thinking about as a
good way to start (esp since I can look at it from a newbie
perspective as I'm fairly new to emacs). That would also help me learn
more about emacs. But I'm not sure where to begin. Any suggestions?
