And we should make sure that all microprojects are indeed micro in size. Matheus sent v8 of a 10 patch series in July that started out as a microproject back in February... Here is one more idea for microprojects: Find a group of related preprocessor constants and turn them into an enum. Also find where those constants are stored in variables and in structs and passed around as function parameters, and change the type of those variables, fields and parameters to the new enum.
