There is https://codespeak.net/issue/pypy-dev/ which i recently updated and lists a number of problems. We are not really keeping very strictly to the classications of "easy,medium,hard" for the issues but it should be helpful a bit, still. > I understand that attending a Code Sprint would also be a great way > to get into the code, but I'm not sure how/when I'll be able to fit > that into my schedule.
