I have tagged some of the issues I have filed but not had bandwidth to tackle immediately as ’newdev’, but could probably have done it far more often. If all of us browse through the issues we have created and tag those we think are simple and important, then there would suddenly be a bunch! Great reminder, Marcus! Having a clear focus on new devs is important!
