Consider this the second bookend apology for spamming everyone's inbox. The final outcome of this was to give people the ability to get a rough idea on how much effort would be required for most of the issues in JIRA. We now have three URL's that should be relatively stable for people to use:
http://s.apache.org/couchdb-easy-issues http://s.apache.org/couchdb-medium-issues http://s.apache.org/couchdb-hard-issues These are links to JIRA that lists issues group by relative difficulty. The system I used in classifying each ticket was to make a rough guess on how much code someone would have to read to be able to fix the issue. I went through pretty quick, and some of the various areas I don't know as well as others, so if you find something you disagree with feel more than merry to update it. Once again, apologies for the volume of email. Paul Davis
