well, that was kind of intended ;)

You should go and checkout the issue tracker and pick the tasks you like
and that you think you can do. I know that's not easy as you currently
will not know how much work each one takes you. You should still start 
with that. Try to identify what's needed to work on the task and try to 
create a schedule (which is needed for the application anyway).

You may ask about details for specific issues, if you have questions.
But you should try to get a rough overview first. You may ask here, or
on IRC and I'm sure Paul Norman will try to help, too. But you should
start by getting an overview by yourself first.

You're not. You may still provide your application until 27.3. 19:00
UTC, but you should take that time to get known to the details and the
issues you want to work on in order to make your application sound.

Peda
