+ list</ulink> shows all the current active problem reports and
+ requests for enhancement that have been submitted by FreeBSD users.
+ Look through the open PRs, and see if anything there takes your
+ interest. Some of these might be very simple tasks, that just need an
+ extra pair of eyes to look over them and confirm that the fix in the
+ PR is a good one. Others might be much more complex.</para>

+ you can handle, e-mail the person it is assigned to and ask if you can
+ work on it&mdash;they might already have a patch ready to be tested,
+ or further ideas that you can discuss with them.</para>
