I'll definitely go through all the tickets and see if there is anything I can help
with.

Need to study the release changelog to be able to do that.

I love this idea! I'll be around for another week before I head off to prepare for my
examination. So we can have a chat whenever you find some free time in the coming week.
Excellent! I'll try to find some time to hash this out with you as a
starting point, and see what we come with as far as ideas and
implementation goes... the important thing for this will be breaking
this task into reachable goals and objectives, and ways to monitor and
check on progress. :)
If IRC proves too difficult (which it might for me this week), we can
try to hash out some ideas on the mailing list!

This is super exciting! :D

No questions at the moment but I won't feel shy to post here if there are any. ;)
Again, welcome aboard. :)
