Hi everyone, To follow up about getting involved with this project, I just created a list of "shovel-ready" bugs to help you find a place to start. This whiteboard tag means that these bugs are ready for action, so feel free to pick any of them up and start hacking. You can find this list here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Projects/Search_activity#Shovel_Ready
I will continue to add this whiteboard tag to bugs as they're filed and/or become ready for work. The level of difficulty of these bugs varies, so they're not necessarily "good first bugs" if you're new to Fennec development. Also please continue to test the search activity and file bugs!
