Markus, great suggestion on biting on the small issues. Quick question for you (and the rest of the community): do you guys mark beginner issues in your JIRA? A lot of projects do use a certain label (like... "beginner" ;-)) which make it super easy for the new comers to look at the list of what they can tackle.
Thanks, Roman.
