Welcome, Dean. My goals have been: - push reports forward to extract as much information as possible from the rich data available for use - refactor report infrastructure, homogenise API - pushing non-report code from guile to C - improve UI and usability
Bugzilla is a good place to start, but many old bugs are now obsolete. The mailing list archives and the git history are extremely useful. Good luck!
